Horror Film Opening Examples

In class our teacher showed us some passed student's Horror Film Openings and we gave our feedback on what we thought. This helped us a lot because it showed us that to get a good grade it doesn't need to be over the top and as good as actual horror film.

I learned a few things in that lesson and they are:

• You don't actually need to show the death to make it scary.
• A quick opening can still be successful as long as it is clear and can be understood.
• Lighting is going to be a main issue because the lights outside aren't useful when filming outside.
• Bad acting will bring our grade down.
• Rushed assignments aren't going to get us a good grade.
• Using varied camera angles to create meaning is a good thing to do.
• Editing with sound is something we have to do.
• Including Mise-en-scene for effect is good.
• Editing is a way to make meanings clear.
• STEADY CAMERA WORK IS KEY.
