The Woman in Black

In The Woman in Black, the director makes the scene where Arthur is travelling to the house very gloomy. He does this by using very limited colours which are mainly black and grey and he does this to signify the sadness of the film.

The house that Kipps is travelling to is on an island where the only way to get to it is on a causeway and that means that when the tide comes in on the causeway will be flooded and there will be no way to leave the island and he will essentially be trapped until it uncovers.

The director uses multiple connotations of death by using things like black clothing and graveyards. He does this to imply people have died in or around the house.
