2. • As our opening sequence genre is Horror. We as a group
presented horror by the location and scenery set in, We also
added clear footage of mystery such as item of a bag digged
inside a hole, incoming call with (unknown) , all these things we
added to our opening sequence which showed mystery. Which is
linked with horror as what is happening with these object will
fright people and think what is in the bag. Moreover in the
opening sequence there is a section of an incoming call with
unknown this creates mystery and horror as the audience is left
with speech bubble imaging something wrong has happened
which give many ideas and thoughts as audience watching this
will interpret maybe someone is watching them doing such thing
like this . Therefore to call with Unknown audience gives the
image of petrified as firstly it will get them thinking who called
with unknown and why? . This also creates more suspense as
why he is digging a hole and has left it in the hole as this also will
alert the audience something is perceptibly in the bag.
3. • Most Horror films are based on murder knife, guns killing being abusive
domestic violence ,stalking another person ghost etc. As from our
opening sequence our objective was to fright the audience as we have
made a opening sequence based on the genre of horror. Many people
who watch the genre of horror want to be scared as this is the reason
why they are watching a film as this particular Genre. Watching horror
film target is to fright people , Blood is always shown in Horror film as it
always creates suspense as the audience believe it has death involved
with horror .While watching a horror film there is a lot of death and
fights involved as killing one another this what scares people as seeing
someone dying, Moreover in Horror films I have watched involves many
stalking kids young kids in particular following them kidnapping and
beatnley hurting them which leaves them to death, This interprets with
the opening sequence of our film as our one is about stalking middle of
the forest with a bag digging which petrifies the audience as why will
the character be in middle of nowhere digging a hole and has a bag with
him which he digs and leaves it in.
4. • Some of the films I have watched for example Jeepers creepers a scary horror
film it is based on killing and stalking .The main character looks very scary as the
way the film shows him and how he is dressed . Jeepers creepers involve a lot of
stalking as the monster target is always to get the people he targets by this he
follows them and searches and hunts them and kills them by killing these
characters he targets to have the blood of there body which helps him as he
feels relief. From this film I have used some of the ideas of stalking and took into
consideration and adapted it to our opening sequence which involves following
and kidnapping . Contrast of with Jeepers creepers in a way he kidnaps the
people he targets as he wants them which I thought was a very good idea as
while I was watching jeepers creepers felt the emerge of sacredness by the
monster following them and hunting . In our opening sequence some of the
way the media product we used to develop the challenge of forms and
conventions of real media product as the location of our opening sequence was
in a area of quiet and has a lot of trees which gives the atmosphere of lonely
place which is scary as it is creepy a man entering with a shovel and bag digging
a hole which alerts he has done something wrong which he is digging to cover
what he has done. Also the background music of our opening sequence is very
frighten and creates suspense as by the beats as it is building up tension on to
the bag as the camera is also focused onto the item. As by doing this the
audience understand something is in the bag which leads with the answer of
what belongs in the bag.
