Camera shots/angles/movement/composition:
The camera thought the clip looks as if it is really close up to each photo and shots. There are also a few shots where there are a few extreme close ups of the actors eye and face. so from the camera doing this is makes me feel a bit scared but excited to watch so im griped in by this all ready. Also the angle of the camera is canted (tilted) so it creates a very good atmosphere and I want to see more. There are a few long shots of the setting, and these are very good because I familiarised myself in the clip because they where used in the films that where before this one, so I knew what was happening and where it was set. A few of the shot where of close ups of wrighting and words, so it made me want to watch on so I could read them better.
Editing:
There where some shots of cross-cutting which made the mood of the film more exciting because I wanted to watch on and it got me on the edge of my seat. With in the clip most shots are faded in or out and about two images on the screen are superimposition, where they are on top of anouther like the long shot of the wind mill, then on top of that the word 'age 9' fades in. This was really good because this made me ask question in my head and I wanted them answered. There are a lot of slow paced shots then very fast paced shot, this also sets a mood to the clip because it is intersting. It goes slow then quick and I want to see more, because it really intrests me. Also the way that the shots and images dissolve into one anouther really makes the opening sequence good! The use of comtinunity is very effective becase it makes the clip run in a smooth line and at an understanding pace for me as a viewer. Though out the clip the whole thing gives me so many visual effects, because it griped me in and I couldn't get my eyes off the screen.
Sound:
The sound track of the opening sequence really sets the tone of the film, it is a good use of non-digetic and ambient sounds, because as it goes along with the clip I get more into the film and I know from the sound track it is scary and goory thought out the film. There is a very effective voice over that is a direct perspective to who all of the pictures and the shots on the screen are of. As a viwer I will rember the voice thought out the film so I know who that was speaking, this really makes me ask questions and it also sets a very scary atmosphere. In the clip there are also some strange bursts of sound for just a second, and this also makes the film seem more scary. The good use of sound effects also help me to understand what is happening in the film becasue the effects relate to the images on the screen.
Mise-en-scene:
The setting of the opening makes me curious to see what is going on, and I want to watch on becase it is scary and detailed. The use of props is very effictive becase you see different sharp objects and a bit of blood, so as a viewer I know what is going to happen in the film a lot of blood and goor. The costume, hair and make-up make the character look scary because he looks dirty, evil and he is banadged up so you can't really see hes face. So I get More into the film because I want to see him fully. The use of dark and shaddy backgrounds gives the film a scary side and makes it more exciting to see what will happen in it. The location of the opening sequence also helps you understand the title of the film, because you can see it is set there from the images shown.
So from the opening sequence of this horror I can tell it is scary and very well planned because they definantaly got there point across to me and I wish I watched the whole film.
