My film uses a tall and wide font to suggest the horror aspect of my film opening. I coloured the text in as red so that the it emphasises danger in my film opening. The positioning of the title also emphasises the mystery of the film. Also my title follows the rule of thirds as this makes it more pleasing to the eye

The black background in this frame suggests mystery to my film. Also the simple background juxtaposes with the bright red of my title to emphasises the horror genre in my film opening.

I used super 8 as my comparison film as this film is also produced by Bad Robot. Also Super 8 is a mystery film such as mine.

Super 8 also utilises colour by showing their font in a bright white it suggests a sci-fi film. Also the font suggests that inside the font is a spot light due to the lines in the font which also suggests mystery.

Super 8 uses a mostly black background which emphasises the title more. Also the little white lights suggests stars which conforms to the sci-fi genre.

Having my first shot like this instantly establishes the main character in my film. Judging by the clothing that he is wearing this will make him relate to my target audience more.

The beanie suggests that he is an adolescent.

The set of the film is in a rural area which suggests what kind of horror it will be also the found footage aspect is important in the film because it highlights the important bits to the audience.

This suggests that the character is an amateur.

This opening shot introduces who the main character is in the film. It also establishes the where the film is set (in the suburbs in America)

The swing set suggests the age of the main character. And what kind of character he is.

Suggests his parents occupation which also suggests the personality of the character.

Winter also emphasises how isolated the child is that is on the swing. Also winter connotes depression and cold feelings such as the child’s mother passing away.

My actress wearing a coat emphasises the pathetic fallacy that is used in my film. Also the way the character is dressed can relate to the audience as well.

The black and white filter on my footage contrasts with the full colour of the found footage of the handheld film.

Having this character in the background also looking down upon down upon the other character, this suggests authority towards with the characters.

The mist creates adds to the mystery genre conventions. Also the low key lighting adds an eeriness to the film in comparison my film beginning is trying to create an eerie effect by the way I used a black and white filter over my film.

All the children looking at one subject suggests the importance of it. This can be compared with my film by the way I use different facial expressions to emphasise what the characters are thinking.
