1. Enigma in our Opening
Sequence
Emma Marshall
Annamaria Noto
Bridget Cardenes Pazmino

2. Real Life Examples
Film Title What was the enigma?
Is this inspirational to
you?
Sinister The use and effect of
cameraception. What will
he find in/ out about the
house?
This could be quite
inspirational as what gives
the movie the enigma is
the fact the audience find
everything out at the same
time as the character, we
have no ‘inside knowledge’
so therefore are in the
same position as the
character, completely
unaware of what to expect.
Paranormal Activity The use and effect of time
lapsing. What are these
periods of time building up
to? What are these periods
of time hiding?
This could also be
inspirational as we can
keep what has happened or
what is going to happen
quite ambiguous.
American Horror Story The use of POV shots
(throughout all series) Who
is watching the characters?
What do they want with the
characters?
This could be inspirational
as we plan on using a
‘Mysterious Creature’ in our
OTS who watches Amber.

3. Enigma
 The enigmas in our Opening Sequence are going to be:
ENIGMAS Why are the
three girls
where they
are?
Why doesn’t
Amber want
to enter the
graveyard?
Who are POV
shots/
shadows of?
Why are her
eyes red and
possessed at
the end?
EXPLANATION The audience
might ask if
there is a
reason as to
why they are
bored walking
around outside
or why they
end up at a
graveyard.
Is there
another reason
as to why she
doesn’t want
to go other
than it being
scary?
The audience
will want to
know who or
what is
following and
watching
Amber.
The audience
will be curious
to find out
what happened
to Amber,
what’s made
her turn this
way?

4. Enigma & Genre
 Our enigmas are suitable to our genre because they
follow the common conventions of a supernatural horror.
 The audience will be left answering questions about the
opening sequence which they would hope to find out
later in the rest of the film.
