Genre: Horror/thriller
Target audience: teenagers aged 16-19
Plot: The opening sequence begins with a series of long shots of a girl walking, then this is cut to a camera flash, and a still image of a knife in a bag is seen. The music now becomes more dramatic and there is a POV shot of the girl looking around, there is now a selection of shots (cross-cutting) between the present the girl and the past (the still images). As the scene continues the girl comes increasingly more worried and begins to run more quickly. She then comes across a trap (bars) and releases she can't escape the situation. Knowing this she continues to run. throughout the sequence is a series of scary images to create tension and increase the audiences questioning. The hook at the end of the sequence is a typical whodunnit.
Mise-en-scene:
We will film in an isolated setting, this is typical of the Thriller genre, the house will be darkly lighted and the girls will be dressed in dark colours, reds and black emphasising danger and death. One is dressed slightly different, to show that she will survive.
Other mise- en-scene will include props like knives, dark costumes and dark lighting
Music:
our music will be upbeat and indie sounding, we wanted to stay away from the stereotypical opening soundtrack so found something unique and interesting for the audience which also subverts slightly the stereotypical sound of an opening which will keep a sustained interest in the sequence.
Conventions of Thriller/Horror include:
Isolated settings
Suspense
Stereotypical characters- teenagers and protagonists/murderers
Mystery created
Scary atmosphere
