Mise en scene
A prop used is a doll straight away, this would intend that a small girl may possibly be involved within the following upcoming scenes. The small tea cups would suggest that they are small children which like to play games. Old fashion dresses are used to present the three girls showing that the film will have a more of an old fashioned base.
Cinematography
There is a zoom in of the window which adds tension and the raising of importance of the window. A zoom out is used at the end after the screaming is heard after the girls had jumped, this could show that something terrifying had happened and the window is not somewhere you would like to be near, also it zooms out on the doll and an establishing shot of the room, the zooming out of the room would show that the room may possibly be dangerous. A mid shot is also used whilst presenting the happiness of the girls in one shot, this may intend that these are normal ordinary little girls trying to just get on with their game with dolls but just something doesn't seem too right.
Editing
Match on action is used when the three girls are walking towards the window showing their foot movements as they walk along. Eye line match is also used when the girls look at the window the window is then presented.
Sound
Non digetic and also sting sound is used in the background to create atmospheric tension. Digetic sound is also presented when the girl gets up and drops the tea cup, also when one of the girls stands on one of the dolls heads and smashes it. The use of non digetic score music in the opening scene creates a very mystic atmosphere as it is a piece composed of classical instruments that if played in a certain way can sound very demented and dark. These instruments are usually used in this genre as they are very good at creating an on the edge feel within the audience creating suspense which is good within a horror movie as it's easier to scare people this way.
