Opening:
A young girl performs her night time routine and gets ready for bed, dressed in a nightgown; she removes her makeup and brushes her teeth. Whilst in her bathroom she washes her face and as she looks up at the mirror she sees a distorted version of herself and this suggests to us that something is out of the ordinary. She gets into bed, lies down and closes her eyes. After a few seconds she falls asleep and we have a close up on her eyes as we can see she starts to dream. There is then a series of clips showing the scenes that she is dreaming and it will be made evident that these are events that happened to her sister in the past however she is very troubled by the events.
Engaging the Audience:
Our film opening will engage the audience and entice them to continue watching the films in a number of different ways. It will be located in a realistic and relatable place as most of it will be filmed with the girl in her bathroom and bedroom, asleep. A routine that everybody does before they go to bed. However, it will take the 'norm' and subvert it by making it sinister, through the use of the mirror. This will make the film opening interesting and conform to the horror genre as it questions the audience as to what has happened in her past and she sees herself in such a way. This enigma code will entice the audience to carry on watching which is good for the film as it means good reviews. Other enigma codes will be, what is the girls story? Who is following her? Why can't she sleep? My film opening will also engage my audience as there is a crisis involved when she falls asleep, we can assume it is a dream, but is it just events from her past...
