Top 10 Horror Movie Opening Scenes
I found this very useful video on YouTube by WatchMojo.com. Now although we have already come up with the story and an idea of the opening sequence of our horror film, this is very useful just to see the kind of techniques and camera shots used early on in horror films. Many of these opening sequences have a first person sequence from the point of view of the killer which is something that we could try to incorporate into our own opening.
most of these openings introduce us to the serial killers very early on but one thing that they do is to not show much of these characters. An example of this is in A Nightmare on Elm Street where we only see Freddies hands and hear him in the background, we also get a short glimpse of him at the end of the opening. This helps to create suspense. Another opening sequence which does this is Friday the 13th which introduces us to the character from the serial killers point of view so we only see their hands which has a similar effect. This is something that we are trying to incorporate into our film and it is very useful having a few examples to refer to when we are getting into the smaller details of our opening.
