Evidence of how Opening fits with research

After looking at different horror openings we knew that they all had specific conventions which we would stick to, to make our opening look realistic.

The openings were all very dark & dull, there were no bright/vivid colours used which made the setting look scary. We also made our sequence like that. The shots were all dark but had been lit by natural lighting (candles) which made the setting spooky. 

We also made sure that the mise-en-scene was good to create a scary atmosphere which is needed for a horror film to make the audience feel on edge. 

We also noticed that the music was suited well to the film to give suspense. We made sure that when we added music, it built up tension & also created suspense.

Overall, i think we managed to stick to these conventions to make our real look as real as possible.
