Inspirational Clip Main Task

This clip is a very good example of an openong of a horror film



The main inspiration of this clip is the low key lighting which we want to have in our opening titles. It gives a gloomy effect that we want. Also, the way the titles appear on the black half of the screen while the action occurs on the left.
The iconography can be interpritated in several ways, for example the opening hand actions indicates begging and pleading, then it moves to praying. This shows how somthing more dominate is controlling her emotions.

The bird song which is played, contrasts with the imaged portrayed on the screen. The song is very light and softhearted, and the image is very harsh and disturbed. This makes it a quite confusing image for the audience watching which could convey the woman's mixed emotions coming from the expression from her hands.

Note: We are only examining the title sequence of this film.

Our idea for the Main Task.

Our inital idea was based around a stalker-horror in which a man is stalking a woman around a bush.

We changed our idea due to lack of originality, and have decided to produce a retrospective stylistic film in which a demon posses a specific child carer so they commit suicide.

The intial sequence will be a woman putting make-up on in a mirror, framed to the left and therefore allowing us to layer images and the titles over the right of the frame, the light shifts and the female writes a note, posting it on the mirror she moves to the background to a noose and she hangs herself, a baby cries.

This was an example of an opening title sequence. I liked the voyerisms and jumpcuts within it. This is the sort of thing my group and I hope to aim for.
