2. The establishing shot of the trailer is opened with wide shot of a man
walking with a stick through the woods. This establishes the setting and
gives of the connotations of desertment and isolation. The next scene
we see is where we are met with the antagonist. This looks like some
form of creature and looks almost rustic and old. The wall paper pattern
is extremely nostalgic and dirty looking. This tells us as well as the
narrative over the clip that their living conditions were considerably bad.

3. The next scene we are met with a couple. Due to the narrative we
understand that this couple are hoping to adopt the featured children whom
have been stranded in the wilderness for quite some time. In this clip we
can see the children in a Childs room being assessed on their actions and
behaviour. The children shown are far from normal children and their
actions are especially uncommon. This is shown in the second picture, the
child has a very emotionless expression on her face and is crawling in a
strange position.

4. In this scene there is a direct scene from the movie where the male says
“I'm your daddy's brother, remember, uncle Luke” This establishes that
there is some connection between the child and man. After hearing
this, the child automatically grasps the man and embraces him in a
passionate hug. This immediately shows a sense of comfort and love. We
see both a close up and an over the shoulder which emphasises the
emotion in the scene. The next scene we see a court room with the
narrative reading “In a loving family environment Victoria and Lilly have a
real chance at a normal life.” This short clip establishes that these young
girls have been adopted/ took into care by the couple.

5. The next scene we see is a close up of the younger child cowering
behind her sister. We only see one half of her face which therefore
represents hidden identity and fear. Her hand is clasped to her sisters
arm which shows she is frightened and ultimately „does not want to
let go.‟ The next scene we see the child resisting her mother and
ultimately slapping her. This shows a lack of control and authority.

6. The next clip features the image of the girls facing the wall and the
younger one reaching out as though to grab it. The narrative over the clip
reads “They talk to the walls.” This leaves us asking why do they talk to
the walls, is there a haunting in the walls? It ultimately leaves the
audience wanting more. The child also says „mama‟ in a eerie voice
almost whispering it, this creates a sense of creepiness. The next shot is
of the older child in a therapists office. The therapist asks „will you tell me
about mama‟ in which she replies no. She is frowning with her eyes
closed to show an uncomfortable question and the fact she will not talk
about „mama‟ leaves the audience asking why.

7. The next scene is of the mum about to open the closet in which the
child replies „don't go in the closet.‟ In this scene we see a close up of
the women's hand about to open the door. This is a typical idea of
horror films as there is always the cliché of something jumping out or
something hiding in there. The next scene we see is a close up of a
man screaming it utter fear of this creature facing him. This over the
shoulder shot focuses on the males face but also introduces the
antagonist without giving too much away. The creature is rustic and of
a darker tone. The hand is blackened at the fingers which are spread
apart as if preparing to grab the man.

8. The shot featured shows the child on the kitchen worktop kneeling down
almost as if to pounce. We can see the child is in her pyjamas however her
face is hidden in darkness. Prior this scene the screen is black so once the
lights come on the audience is shocked not only by the sighting but the
mothers shocked reaction. This gives the audience that scare they have
been building up for. The next scene we see the child screaming „Mama!
You promised‟ This quote for me was the most memorable, and the most
recognisable with the trailer. The use of the word „you promised‟ is often
said to mothers, and here I believe we get a real sense of mother and
daughter relationship.

9. The next scene shows a mother in bed where she says „Victoria, whats under
the bed‟ We then see a close up of the mum screaming as though Mama has
attacked her. This leaves the audience thinking questions such as; “What
happened” “Is she ok” It leaves the audience wanting to complete the story
and find out more. The last picture shows the „Last scare‟ It shows a close up
of the younger daughter smiling back at the camera. In the background we see
some sort of figure almost floating as though possessed. The figure is blurred
so the initial focus is on the daughter. We hear in the background „Don't look at
her‟ then the figure flies in the direction of the child with open arms. This
leaves us wondering what will happen if you look at her, will you be able to be
saved once you look at her?
