The setting of the first scene in our opening sequence takes place in a teenage girls room. On the back wall are pictures of Katlyn, our main character shown above, with her friends, like any teenage girl would. This targets our audience of 16-25 year olds. Katlyn is a typical teenage girl who is aged 16 years old. This gives a sense of reality as the most likely age group watching the movie is around her age. We got this information from our questionnaires which said that this was the age group who are most interested in watching horror or thriller movies. In this clip from our opening sequence, Katlyn is seen wearing a white robe. Our inspiration for this costume came from the movie 'The Ring' and the main character Samara.
As our opening sequence moves on, and the credits beginning to roll we see Kayln living her normal, teenage life. Above, she is seen walking to school. She shows typical conventions of a teenager. For example the way she is dressed. Even as the credits roll, an upbeat piece of music plays over the clips which is usually listened to by the age group 16 - 25 year olds. We specifically chose an upbeat sound to play here so we relax our audience right before we shock. Our inspiration for this clip came from the opening sequence to 'The House of the Devil'.
Our class mates wrote evaluations after viewing the opening sequence to our film '666'. The main feedback we received was that our opening sequence was confusing. However, many popular horror and thriller movies receive reviews saying that the movie was a little confusing. However, these movies are usually are the ones which really make the audience think and use their imagination. A few of these movies include; 'Night of the Living Dead', 'The Exocist' and 'The Shining'.
