A family move into a new house in America, the house is generally cast in low-key lighting in the exterior. The majority of the film is set at night, though some is set in the day.
There are several themes in the movie, a fractured family relationship, justice to find whatever's causing deaths, revenge.
The mirror in the house is used for iconography in the movie trailer and the whole film revolves around the supernatural things which occur due to the mirror. The mirror signifies the devil.
Two people are hunting 'it', responsible for 45 deaths in the 4 centuries of it's recorded existence, a girl (Kayleigh) and a boy (Tim) discharged from a mental hospital of some sorts, they are the people hunting the supernatural being that resides in the mirror. A family move into a new home with the mirror inside of it. It is also revealed that the father may have killed his children's mother and may be corrupt.
Special effects are used to give viewers an indication as to who is corrupted by the supernatural. Camera trickery is used to give the impression that people have disappeared. The actors are dressed in normal, everyday attire as the events happen to a 'normal' family. Within the house, the lighting is generally low-key lighting, this gives a dark and eerie effect. Whenever the mirror is in shot, it is central on the screen which helps give the impression that it's the main focus and everything is based around it.
Guardians of the Galaxy is set in the future, on foreign planets in the daytime. It features humanoids, talking animals and aliens, alongside humans. A mixture of high-key and low-key lighting is used, depending on the location (good affiliation- high-key, bad affiliation- low-key).
There are themes of comedy, justice, revenge, friendship and a power struggle in the trailer.
In the trailer, an orb is the main use of iconography, this shows it must have some kind of significance within the film.
