CM Film Openings: Horror

Sorority Row: 2009, Stewart Hendler:
  • Immediatly begins with the idea of death, both faked and then a stabbing at the end of the opening sequence. This shows us that in order to establish the genre early in our film opening we will need to include a key feature such as death if we are doing a horror.

  1. This sequence is linked to the 'teen drama' genre as well, maybe we could incorporate two genres into our opening?

  2. If we were to do a horror, I think the use of lighting variations would help, as it potrays mystery and therefore building tension.
