Ideas For Opening Sequence

Horror

There are three of us in my group: Albeni, Ella and Emily and we have been brainstorming ideas and decided to go for a horror film. In our opening we are going to have a girl staying behind after school to pick up her art books, She then does not realise that there is a creepy man following her down the corridor you will not be able to see the man it is just going to be portrayed that there is someone there through camera angels and it will almost look like a ghost or an illusion. The girl will then walk through the school with her pase getting faster as she feels someone following her but because it is the opening sequence you will not know if she is let out safely or not. Our aim for the opening is to leave the viewer asking questions: who is following her? is it her friend? is it her teacher etc.

• girl getting followed by killer through school
• girls are more vulnerable
• Creepy music playing in the backround to create an atmosphere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwlMnX_u6kE , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUWi9ytJhDc , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bta0lMT9nT4
• Dark school
• Alone
• Dark and light to show good and bad characters
• Lighting effects to create effect
• school corridor will be dark and empty, by filming it from one end it will make the girl look even more alone and like it is going on forever.

Names: We have been throwing ideas around about what to call our opening these are:

• The chase

• The Mask

• Masquerade

• Fascade

• Concealment
