opening sequence

This openings scene shows that the film is a comedy/horror its meant to be funny but it is quite violent. The girl has rich parents but she is meant to be a dumb blonde for example when she had a choice of a grenade, knife gun or a banana she chose the banana and when there was two signs safety and death, she chose death. A few different shots were used such as long shot, close up, mid shot. it starts with the girl ansewering the phone and having a casual conversation with a random person, but what she doesnt no is that he is about to kill her, he starts to threaten her so she puts the phone down. kids nock on her door in costumes because its halloween but instead of her giving the sweets she hits them with a baseball bat, this shows the comedy side of the film. outside is very dark and grey with fog this is normaly a set for a horror film. Even when the killer is chasing her she runs through the spriklers posing in her bra and nickers. The ladies mum and dad payed no attention to the fact they just hit something, which was their daughter.

The idea of this opening scene is well though about. the voice over works very well and tells a good story, the camera shots and fade outs are good. the music played goes well with this genre film. the characters stay in roll throughout the whole opening scene which makes the idea of a gangster film very believable and effective.

opeing sequence

the whole idea of this opening scene is neither good nor effective, the actors and actresses don't stay in character. it just seems like everything was put together last minute. the voice over doesn't go with the opening scene. overall i think it was badly planned and filmed.
