1. 9 FRAMES ANALYSIS

2. This is a shallow focus of tea-
things. A teapot is pretending
to pour tea in cups in the
opening first scene .That is a
really English style tea pot
suggest a classical feeling.
But there is no liquid poured
from the teapot, it makes
audiences feel confused and
strange.
This is a shallow focus
of a doll. The tea is
given to the doll . This
doll looks horrible with a
strange face. And it
hints that children may
be playing with the dolls
and pretend that the doll
is real people.

3. There is a establishing shot
of a room. Three little girls
are playing with their dolls
and toys. Judging from the
costume of them, they are
wearing pretty dress which
suggests they are upper
class chilldren. The whole
frame looks peaceful and
harmonious.
This is a shallow focus of
a creepy blond hair doll.
And a girl is brushing its
hair . It should be a happy
time, but in here, it hints
that something bad is
going to happen.

4. There is a extreme long shot (establishing shot) of the whole room. They
stares at the camera which in a high angle. Audiences will feel very
uncomfortable because girls are staring at them . It also implies that
creepy thing is going to happen.

5. There is a eye line match of
the girls looking at the
windows when they hear
something. They stop what
they are doing and staring
at the windows for a
moment. As we can seen
from the frame ,the
windows are firmly closed.
So that audiences will
suspect whether there are
something appearing
suddenly. The soft and
temperate light is coming
from the sun, creating a
peaceful environment
which is eery actually. Like
the calm before the rain
storm.

6. A shallow focus of the
foot(point of view)
stamping the doll. Doll is a
representative of child in
this film, it means
childhood ,happy and fun
of children , in this shot,
the doll is ruined and
looked cruel. It hints that
this horror film represents
something bad happening
to children.

7. A shallow focus close up
of a creepy doll which is
dirty as well as having lots
of scars near her big blue
eyes suggests that those
three girls are puppets like
her.
A extreme long shot of three girls
shows that they are jumping out
of the windows ,which makes
audience feel shock .The shot
lay a foundation for this horror
film, which create a horror,
mysterious atmosphere. And the
low key lighting reinforce this
point.
