Opening Sequence Notes:


Sub genre: Psychological thriller /Horror thriller

Narrative: no narrating.

Character: an independent woman in her early 20’s, very strong and successful.

Atmosphere establishes:
it takes place on a misty morning, very gloomy and cloudy.
The forest is filled with tree’s and the area is empty due to the time of day and also because it’s on the outskirts of a small town. The atmosphere should be like a dream or hallucination but the audience soon realise it very real.

Setting: A forest full of tree’s which makes it hard to find a way out, and it all looks the same which causes the character to run in circles.

Lighting: using the daylight as lighting as its outside, looks quite bright but very dull.

Props:
Ripped tights, a cocktail dress, one set of earring, one pair of shoes, necklace and rings.

Sound: diegetic sound of a women breathing heavily throughout the film, also heart beating at crucial moments. The soundtrack should be mellow but heart pounding.

Use of camera:
mostly extreme close up’s and close up’s but including a few long shots to establish the area.

Editing: at the start of the film there is a split second scenes which cut into credits, At first the scenes are very short and sudden but they gradually get longer and slower (as in slow motion).
