Woman In Black Review

We saw the film 'The Woman In Black', a supernatural thriller, and it gave us lots of inspiration for the creation of our own film.


The film was highly suspenseful and, as audience members, it kept us drawn in all the way throughout. One of the ways it did this was through it's use of music and sound effects. Throughout the darker times in the film, contrast was created with creepy lullabies that contradicted the visual effects . Also, another technique that we saw that we think would be effective to use in our own film, was the use of silence in moments of tension. It was very unsettling as it left the audience on the edge of their seat.


The film also used mise en scene very well; the film was set on dark, dreary moors and all of the scary moments were dark, dreary and colorless. This was something else that we think we could adapt to our film; the use of colour to add to the mood.
