The long, birds eye view shot of the father and daughter highlights how they are quite clueless and carefree as they are both smiling and having fun which emphasises how clueless they are of what is to come later on in the film. This shows a clear contrast between the carefree and innocence of  this scene to the end of the trailer.

The long shot of the house is used to show the isolation of the house surrounded by the trees which is quite typical in a horror film


The family visit a car boot sale together where the protagonist young girl wears white accessories where the white colour denotes purity and vulnerability which in horror films is quite typical as the victim is usually innocent.
