- Although this is actually a tv drama opening it adheres to some of the horror conventions and has the fast cutting rate and handicam use which we hope to use in our own film opening
- The video is not available online, however I have taken screen shots of particularly interesting shots from the sequence and I will embed the video if it later becomes available
- From this opening I have seen that the fast cutting rate is very effective in creating tension and also the use of diagetic sound turned quite high in the sound mix is also very tense, as in this clip the screams of the victim and snarls of the hound are very loud
- In our opening, I would like to use the fast cutting rate and handicam shots to create a sense of discordance and confusion, as well as the ECU shots of various limbs and other body parts to add to the sense of distortion
- The contrast between the ECU of the boy's face and then the zoom out to a bird's eye shot of him later on as an adult is particularly interesting. We could use a similar technique to show contrast between our female killer and the male victim
- Another very effective technique used here is the use of red and blue filters on the cameras, which give a stylized appearance. I would like our opening to be quite stylized, maybe in a noir style, although this may not be entirely possible due to budgeting constraints
