Genre
Our opening sequence will use numerous techniques to introduce the horror film. We will use laid back music so danger is not suspected but it will become clear how ironic our choice of song is as the group separates. We will use shots to deceive the audience into a sense of danger but these shots are only practical jokes to keep the audience guessing. We will then try to develop the use of unsettling sounds and camera angles to bring the real horror into the opening sequence.
Characters
The characters are shown from the very beginning of the film as we try to introduce the importance of their friendship and their individual personalities, we have also decided who will be playing each character:
Biker 1 – Adam
Biker 2 – Matt
Biker 3 – Josh
Biker 4 – George
Plot
The opening sequence will introduce the characters and give an insight into characters as we have Adam trying to keep the group moving on, Matt joking around and myself reading whilst the others are preparing. The shots will first show the group together but then some vital equipment is left behind which will make it almost impossible for the group to navigate their way out, I gradually fall behind and the stalker is introduced. The audience will want to know what happens to me and also if the others will make it out of the forest.
Themes and Values
The foremost value in our opening sequence is friendship as we see how Adam’s desire to complete the challenge leads him to place his ambition in front of his struggling friends. The theme of naivety is shown when the group finally understand the full scale of what they are trying to accomplish and the audience finds that they should have researched the area as there are some nasty surprises waiting for them.
Situations and Locations
Pitch Hill is a perfect location to film our sequence because the dense vegetation gives the look of permanent darkness and the many winding paths show how they could easily loose themselves. Once the group is engulfed by the forest it will certainly be hard for them to find a way out.
