My opening sequence plan in response to research
- 1. My opening sequence- “Torture” From my research I have decided that in order to meet expectations for a Slasher film I will use the following: The props I am going to use in my opening sequence will be: Mobile phone Mallet Tape The costumes: Mum-Casual clothing, jeans and bright jumper Girl (Victim)- dress Man (Murderer)- Hospital apron, Black clumpy shoes The setting will be at a school at night time, with no one else around, empty hallways, rooms, etc. Lights will cut out causing complete darkness. The setting will then change to inside a derelict old building that is bright and dull on the inside making it look cold and unwelcoming. It is a harsh contrast to the scene filled with darkness prior to it. The titles that I will use will be in a red font that looks like blood, on a black background. The font will flash on and off the screen. The camera ranges I use will consist of an establishing shot at the start which sets the scene, followed by a POV of the murderer, and then close ups of the victim when she hears the news of the escaped murderer and when she is being attacked, to emphasise her fear through facial expressions. The second scene will begin from the POV of the victim so the audience understands her first view of the derelict building after waking up from being drugged. There will then be a close up followed by an extreme close up of the girl crying to end the sequence. The music I will use will be an electronic, slow tempo siren which is the sound raised in real life if someone escapes the Broadmoore mental asylum. It also fits into the best music genre voted in my questionnaire.
