Subject matter and representation issues

Subject matter and representation issues

The genre of our opening sequence will be a horror thriller causing crime and mystery, which is based on a young woman who is in her posh dress running away from someone making the audience question about who or what is chasing her.



The first time we see her is as a business women who is firing someone. Her business clothes make her look professional yet she is very powerful which contrasts her being very weak in the forest.


Why would someone be running away through the forest? (audience questioning on the opening sequence)

Young women- vulnerable, always appear as victims in thriller films

Young, rough clothes – lower class (gives a contrast)


Formal wear – dress, appears attractive – easy target. Tell the audience her social class which is upper class.

For the first bit of the opening of our thriller a woman is running through the forest wearing a nice, smart dress which is supposed to contrast with her surroundings. As the dress is a vital tool in the scene to create enigma and an effect, we needed the right dress.This was our choices for the characters costume.


Where the film is set – forest – creepy, causes shadows, unfamiliar place, causes suspense to the audience


Camera shots – Point of View shots

Sound track – forest – nature sounds, eerie sounds,



Films we have been influenced by – the village,
