The start of this thriller shows representation, and the mise-en-scene of the film portrays realism. The scene is realistic, as its an everyday typical family of a married couple and there dependant children living in what they call there 'dream house'. The non digetic sound added to the start of the trailer is a peaceful and content backing sound with digetic sound of laughter and playful cries, which connote a positive and happy atmosphere, which instantly sets a positive vibe. However, the non digetic sound that almost sounds like a piano playing, builds up and the music gets louder and faster rapidly as the scenes change and tension is increased as the story starts to un-fold. The non digetic sound thats in the main male characters head within the film, is a repetition of a certain persons name being 'peter moore', which makes the reader confused as to why this character is so important, what does he have to do with the story?
The effects used within the film are of black flashes on screen that are used between scenes, which build up the atmopshere along with the black on white effect used for the subtitles, which makes the words stand out and seem more powerful. This catches the readers eyes more and makes them pay more attention.
The image above is extremely relevant and an important image, as throughout the trailer there is repetition of the words 'once upon a time, there were two little girls they lived in a house..'. The idea that the film is called the dream house, and after watching the whole of the trailer, its clear to see the house has connotations of murder, pain, screams, cries and upset. It is clear to see the house of horrors as you could call it, is far from a dream house.
