Question 1 - 9 Frame Analysis

In This first screenshot is Our Opening titles which come after the acting has finished. In this second screenshot is the titles from 'Halloween Part 2' which also come after the acting which helps build the tension of the movie. Whilst the titles are going on there is music playing in the background which i happens in both opening sequences which also helps build the tension and suspense for the rest of the movie.

In this firsts screenshot there is the shot of the victim walking through an open field. This also happens in 'The Devils Backbone' we have used this for setting and location because it is very similar because they are in an open field where no one is around to help them and they can be very vulnerable.







In this first screenshot you see the scene where the mum is ringing the daughter but the daughter has just been murdered so she cannot answer the phone. In this second screenshot there is a scene from 'Scream' where she is using the phone. We have selected these two screenshots because they are both using a phone as a prop and it is convenient for people our age to have phones and consistently use them. Also in our sequence the character has already been murdered but in 'Scream' the girl is going to be murdered just after she puts down the phone.







In this first screenshot you see a long shot of the victim who is walking home through a park. There is also a long shot in this other screenshot from 'The Devils Backbone'. These come up quite a lot in camera and editing because it helps set the scene and gets the whole environment of where the characters are.





In this first screenshot you will see the titles form our opening sequence which has a very messy font and it looks scratched and beat up which helps convince the audience that it is a horror film because it looks quite scary. In comparison we have titles from 'Saw' which are also very scruffy and look quite tacky however it works to there advantage because it shows that the film is going to be very messy and blood everywhere.

In this first screenshot you will see a screenshot you will see the scene when the murderer attacks the victim this sets the story because you no that there is going to be more killings. In this second screenshot there is a scene from 'Scream' where the murderer has just got hold of the victim is going to kill her which sets up the story because you no that no one is going to stop and find this murderer.

In this first screenshot you see the murderer this opens the genre because you start to get suspicious and wonder who this person is. In this second screenshot you see 'Scream' and the house is on fire which sets the scene because it has been done on purpose and someone is trying to kill her and sets the scene because you don't no who it is.

In this first screenshot you see the two characters that are talking and saying goodbye to each other this introduces the characters because they are vulnerable because one friend has left the other to walk through the park on her own. In this second screenshot you see a scene from the 'Amittyvile Horror' which introduces the characters by giving an insight into who they are for instance the boy is ill and the mom is trying her best to help him and they have to take him across the country to see the doctors.

Our opening sequence does not use any special effects. However in 'Scream they burn down the house and the fire just randomly happens.
