NW: Response to ED still frame experimentation

 

 

 

 

• The framing of this image provides a long shot, it allows us to see the girls whole body and take in some of the background which helps us identify the location.
• Mise-en-scene in the form of costume and props stereotypically relate to the horror genre, the little girl wearing a dress suggests her youth and innocence as well as the teddy bear that she holds, these both being stereotypes of young girls. To contradict this, she is also holding a knife which connotes that she has a more threatening side and suggests she could be dangerous.
• The location is domestic which is often used in the horror genre as it makes the audience think they are safe in the home environment but then something scary happens which makes the audience feel uneasy and worried.
