Woman In Black
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.
The pace of the editing starts off slow, this is due to not much happening in the beginning. As the toys start to speed up, so does the editing. this represents that life in the house is becoming more active, so the rate of death and danger is increasing.
There are a variety of shots used in this trailer. there is a low angle long shot of the protagonist in the bedroom. this shot is used to represent the fact that he is being watched. There is also a low angle long shot of the house. this can show that the house has got a lot of power and is not to be under judged.
There is also a mid shot high angle of the protagonist running. This can show that he is being looked down upon and is inferior to those who are chasing him.
One aspect of the mise en scene is the old fashioned children's toys. These toys feature throughout the whole trailer. These toys have the horror element, because they are unusual. They are also filthy due to the years wearing them down.
Lighting tends to be low key. This is a common feature of horror films, although it seems to be that the further away that he is away from the house, the lighter the key. This can show a link between the house and the woman in black. It seems that she owns the house, so she doesn't want anyone in there.
