Evaluation Question One - Shot Nine

I used a close-up of the hand as it shows the character has died but it is teasing the audience by not showing much gore. Most horror films do not show much in the opening. This makes the audience want to keep watching as they can then see more gore as the film goes on.

Evaluation Question One - Shot Eight

I used this close-up shot as once again it is keeping the killer a secret and it also shows what is going on with the knife as it is the most important part of the shot.

Evaluation Question One - Shot Seven

I used this shot of me looking out the window as just like shot two and three it creates suspense as the killer could be out there. Unlike the other two, this is the point where the music becomes more tense and scary and the character has heard something. The audience knows that the killer is going to be there soon and the character looking out the window could be the point where the killer jumps out from somewhere.

Evaluation Question One - Shot Six

I used a close-up of the killer taking the knife. This is part of the parallel narrative part where it alternates from the girl in the garage to the killer sneaking in and taking the knife. I used a close-up as you can see what the killer is doing but also I do not show the killer as in horror films the killer is a mystery for some time before finally revealing them.

Evaluation Question One - Shot Five

I used this handheld very long shot to give the impression that the character is being spied on. It is a point of view shot of the killer, watching as she walks into the garage so the killer knows when to enter the house.

Evaluation Question One - Shot Four

I used this shot as it over shadows what is going to happen at the end of the opening sequence. I used this as many horror films have hidden clues during the films like the 'Final Destination' franchise and the 'Saw' franchise.

Evaluation Question One - Shot Three

Just like shot two this also creates suspense as the window is shown in the background. This time the character is in the shot as it makes it seem scary because the audience may wonder if it's going to be one of those 'He's behind you' moments. This may also make the audience feel scared as they know somethings going to happen and it's a scary thought with the dark window being behind the characters back.
