Halloween opening


Opens with a POV (point of view) shot that's consistent through out the opening. This is very engaging and demands the audience's attention and would instantly grab the audience's interest. It adds a huge essence of mystery and suspence as whilst you watch it you yourself get a 'feeling' as though someone's watching you. It's also extremely eiree, the mise-en-scene contributes with this mood as it's set in a conventional desolate location and dark lighting. It creates many enigma's and situations where you feel unsettled as everything is so unexpected as the character your invisualising is extremely ambigious. You have this feeling as though you are hiding and this is a technique we're adopting into our opening. Also the use of hand held camera's, there's no fancy tracking used and we can also adopt this skill into our opening. It helps provide a more eiree and realistic POV, also the slight cantedshots you acheive helps to attract audience's attention.

For the flashbacks (in childs perspective) we can have the POV shots. This will allow full engagment and better understanding. This allows audiences to be almost involved in the voilence themselves rather than constantly showing close ups of facial expressions audience members can interpret their own emotions into the film.
