Evaluation part 1

For our film opening we have 9 key frames that show what happens within the first two minutes.

Our opening builds up suspense by having the majority of camera angles as point of view shots. This make the audience feel suspense because they can easily relate to what’s happening on the screen because of the angle of the camera. The music also helps build up suspense because it is quite dark and in a minor key which makes it feel quite eerie.

Throughout our film opening there is quite a menacing tone in the music which has a dark and scary feel to it making the audience wonder what’s going to happen next. The music we used is classical like it is in a lot of other horror films.

There is a threat of a monster when we see Scott in the mask and he screams at the other character who soon becomes a victim of the monsters. The monster is the killer and kills the first character that the audience are introduced to.

The victim in our film opening is the first character that the audience are introduced to. This shows that it is a horror film and not any other genre because in most other genres the audience builds up a relationship with the first character they are introduced to. Another horror film where the first character that the audience see is killed is in Scream where the girl is killed but is also the first person we see as the audience.

For the font in our credits we used a big bold font like in the film Anaconda. The reason we did our credits similar to the ones that are in Anaconda is because our film is similar to Anaconda in that they are both films about snakes. When our credits present Warner Bros. the credit comes in moving like a snake which shows the audience what the film is going to be about. The reason the font is green is because it is the same colour as the skin of a snake or a reptile which is usually a shade of green.
