Film genres

For our film, we have chosen to create the first 2 minutes of a horror movie.

The setting will be on in a wooded area such as Ashtead Common and a house. At the very beginning we will use fast and short shots to create tension.

We will have our main character putting a sign up on a tree for a missing cat. We then show the main character walking into their house and their parents asking them if they are going to go out and look for the cat. So they then go outside and into the woods to look for their cat when our main character gets mysteriously attacked. We then see a pair of hands sticking a 'missing' poster of the main character.

We will use a few silences and maybe muffle the sound to add effect and make the opening more intense for the audience. Our main lighting will be using a torch as it will be in the evening. We will show a point of view shot of someone walking with the torch to create tension. We might use some music too but it will mainly be sound effects.
