3 Potential Openings

 In the first opening we decided to choose a less generic film opening as we thought this would be more intriguing for our target audience. The opening we have chosen relies upon editing as it will contain frequent cut shots from the two different locations. Although the filming should be simple we feel as though it would have an exciting start to the film. We also feel that this would attract the identified target audience. Also by completing our target audience feedback the results shown us that the audience thought this would be the best possible opening that we could have chosen. The first opening can also be seen as being more sinister then the other two hence our choice

The second potential opening which we considered was the one above. We considered this on because it contained a few codes and conventions which feature in other horror films which would make people aware that it is a horror. The reason why we decided to go against this idea was because we felt it would be hard to shoot considering the resources we had available to us meaning that we may not have the desired effect.

The third opening was similar to the second. It was based very much on the threat and villain of the movie being presented in the opening scene to show the danger early on. We decided against the use of this opening because the audience feedback was not as strong and as popular in comparison to the first opening. Also the film opening is quite similar to most other horror movies and we wanted a different opening where we could rely on the editing side of things as opposed to the filming side of things where the resources we have available may come into effect.
