Horror Photo 1

This is a long/mid shot of a young girl holding a knife out in order to frighten a audience.
This shot was designed to make a audience feel extremely uncomfortable, as you can see the full length of the actress and you realise that she is merely a small child. This would worry the audience as the would be shocked to see that she is holding such a sharp weapon. Then they eye wonders over to her facial expression and sees that she is holding an aggressive facial expression and looks intent on harming somebody with that knife. The white dress is symbolic for purity as she is only young yet she looks harmful so there is a contrast. The setting was placed outside in the daylight so that the actor could be fully seen in the light, it was shot was taken in front of the bushes as they form a straight line almost acting as a barrier so nobody can escape. The actress is looking towards were her knife is pointing this makes the audience wonder what she is looking at and feel fearful for the person or object that she is looking at. Shes not wearing any shoes as this takes away some basic humanity and makes her look if she doesn't care what shes wearing or feels anything and only wants to cause pain or harm.
