Research into Opening Sequences

As well as looking into opening sequences of horror films, since our opening sequence includes a book that will allow us to incorporate and show our titles, I found that clips from Harry Potter also help to show the effect we hope to achieve or have had inspiration from in our own sequence.

At 57 seconds on the clip, the scene changes into a newpaper format, we hope to achieve something like that where the audience is within the book and emerced in what is written, this could hope to connect the audience to the storyline and help to make it more impactful and creepy as the audience is involved. I like this style of filimg as it is inventive but is also effective at getting across emotions to the audience with the pace and sharpness of the camera shots, we hope to use slow shots that get increasingly faster to show a dramatic sense as something is getting closer and coming towards the main character in our opening sequence.
