Sound Analysis
Within the trailer, sound is very important. Here are some trailer with connotations of the sound.
The sound was quite happy, but as the trailer went on it got more sinister and fast pace. This is to show that the two girls were going insane. The music and mental abilities of the girls were in sync, for they both got a lot more sinister.
At the start of the sequence, the sound that is used is an old movie camera. This sound would not have been usually used in a move, but this sound was to highlight that the film that the children were watching was old. This also implies that the trailer is set in the past. The use of an old childrens song implies innocence. This ties in with the trailer, because the innocence is being corrupted.
There is a very happy sound track to begin with. This was to symbol how happy the family are and how happy the children are to go to their grandparents house. As soon as the first night came around in the trailer the soundtrack immediately changed. The music became a lot darker with so jumpy parts. The diegetic sounds of the children become screams in the second half of the trailer.
At the start of the trailer you can here the wind howling. This is to show that the emptiness that fills people after their children are gone. There is a voice over throughout the whole trailer. The voice is of a female child to show innocence. The voice is expressing about how the woman in the house can't be stopped and that she is out to get children.
