Dawn of The Dead
The second opening i watched was from Dawn of the Dead which is a Horror based film. I couldn't quite locate were the opening clip was, it was a struggle to find on YouTube but you kind of understand the idea of this. Although its not a personally favourite film of mine the shots were very suitable and kept me hooked.
the colours of red and orange are clear indications of evil, death and hell so audience are noticing genre straight away buy these clues. The stereo-typical blonde character is focused upon and given a personality too. i would liek to however challenge this in my production and make my female victim a dark haired later asking my viewers if they still feel sorry for her.
Editing of music (argumentative broken strings or fierce scratching noises) disturbs the listeners meeint up with a general convention of a horror. I would aslso like to use abnormal disturbing sounds in my production to leave my audience scared and vunerable. The Ariel shot is a odd view but is done to get the audience to relate to the setting of a calm relaxing neighbourhood; But not for much longer i presume? Although i woudl like to slowly build dramatic tension in my clip i have limited time to do so, so i shall make sure in mine i start the 'fear' instantly.
In this opening the audiences assumptions are made, for the camera to play on the viewers thoughts is a vital way of making sure they are interacting, for example if it starts of a sunny day the viewers presumme nothing is wrong but here it challenges that and the audience sense danger right away. I really enjoy the way the girl was listening to a song that had lyrics involving death and last day of comfert. This being a little ironic and symbolising what is about to occour. I would like to use a symbol in my production to make the audience investigate or become confused such as a ring or a tattoo.
