For my genres, I have chosen thriller and horror. I chose these two as I feel I am the best equipped with props and an area along with a clear idea of what I want it to be. I have been wanting to do a horror type of opening since I feel they are the most iconic and memorable making it stand out from the rest.
What makes Horror, Horror?
(Halloween 1978)
The opening kill of Halloween is a fantastic example of a opening. We can see Micheal Myers as a child kill his sister and gives context on how Micheal Myers was and will be throughout the rest of the film. The point of the opening is to establish his character as a violent relentless killer since a young age.
The main point of horror is to bring out fear into the audience through different methods wether it be phycological or body horror for instance. Horror does an amazing job at building atmosphere and suspense making it one of the hardest genres to pull off but when done successfully you can have an amazing and memorable film just like Halloween.
What makes Thrillers entertaining?
(A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984)
