4. Editing uses both rapid cuts and longer shots to build suspense, challenging the convention of only using rapid cuts. The opening also defies conventions by introducing the

The third minute shows the man's body after hanging as the title appears. The fourth minute uses parallel editing to show the two protagonists preparing as a man on TV speaks.

The descent analysis
This document describes several shots used in a hospital scene to convey Sarah's deteriorating mental state and realization that her daughter and husband have died. Close ups of a birthday cake and Sarah in her hospital bed establish recurring themes and her dark mindset. A high angle mid shot makes Sarah look weak physically and the equipment underscores her critical condition. A trombone shot uses zooming and movement to show fear in Sarah's eyes. A steadicam tracking shot shows Sarah running from encroaching darkness that inevitably reaches her. An arc shot uses a 360 degree pan to show Sarah and Beth's realization that everything has changed with the darkness. A final steadicam zoom out from Sarah and Beth crying on the floor fades to black
Dawn of the Dead
1. The opening scene establishes typical horror film conventions through editing, sound, and camera techniques.
2. The target audience is primarily male aged 18-30.
3. Sound design uses both diegetic and non-diegetic elements to create atmosphere and tension, such as ominous music and ambulance sirens.
4. Mise-en-scene supports the realism of the hospital setting through details like medical clothing, equipment, and lighting that enhances the fear and obscures the antagonist.

The opening of a film is important as it sets the tone and gives viewers insight into the story. An effective opening, like in the film The Strangers, shows something intriguing like the ending to encourage viewers to watch to see how it gets there.

What i had learnt opening sequences
Opening sequences set the tone and provide context for the genre and story. Thrillers often start with low-key lighting to build tension, while comedies establish the setting and introduce characters with high-key lighting. Films also use iconic images that signal the genre to viewers. The openings provide insights into the plot and climax near the end to engage the audience and make them want to see how their initial questions are resolved. Learning these conventions will help in creating an effective opening sequence for a thriller film that sets the scene and builds suspense.

Inspirational/Creative Opening Sequences
- 1. Inspirational/Creative Opening Squences Personally, I like movies that start with action, start with something to pull the audience in, get them involved early. Therefore the first opening sequence that I would have is the movie: Saving Private Ryan by Paramount Home Entertainment. This movie was first shown in 1998 and has an opening sequence of almost 30 minutes long! The movie goes straight into the action with the Normandy beach landings as the American forces Fight to gain control of the Omaha Beaches. The movie was very successful making it realistic and emotional and it really grabbed the audienceโs attention and quickly became a favorite for many.
- 2. A second inspirational movie opening would have to be:Scream. This movie is the same genre as the one I am doing therefore it fits well with the planning and research side of my project. The opening scene of scream involves a girl constantly being contacted by a mysterious strange voice on the phone that wont leave her alone and she gets more and more panicked and scared. The purpose of this opening scene is to first of all freak the audience out but also draw them in with suspense. It all leads up to the first death of the movie when the title is shown.
- 3. A third inspirational opening sequence is: JAWS Jaws is a movie basically about a killer great white shark. The start of the movie is pretty basic, involving a boy and a girl at a party who decide to go for a swim. The male passes out on the beach and the girl swims alone when she is attacked and killed by a shark that you do not see. This is possibly to show how quickly and mysteriously a shark can attack and also to make the audience stick with the movie to find out what happens and to maybe see what attacked the girl. With the well-known backing track it makes the opening scene much better.
