Deciding the Genre

After having a group discussion including ideas of what we could use in an opening scene for a film, we came to the conclusion that 'Horror' would be the best genre to work with.

Reasons for choosing 'Horror'
- we can experiment with special effects
- the use of camera angles and shots
- the use of sound
- we would be able to get a reaction from the audience


Examples of existing Horror films
- The Grudge
- Saw
- The Amityville Horror
- Dawn of the Dead                             
- The Exorcist



It will be difficult to create tension and the right atmosphere for the audience, but by doing our individual research and working together as a team we believe we can create a successful horror opening scene.
