Other opening sequences similar to ours.

Our opening sequence is based around a stalker, looking at two other film openings I can see what is similar and what relates to our own opening.

One of the films I looked at was Gregory's Girl, although this is not a thriller but a comedy the film starts with a stalker. A group of boys stand in the shadows outside, what looks like, halls of residents, they are looking into the window of one girls room watching her get undressed. Looking at the shot reverse shots of the boys and then the girl in the window and the close ups they use we can see how to use things like this in our own film. This opening scene takes place at night, like ours and this gives a creepier feel to the film, even though it is a comedy. This film is not about stalkers but voyeurs. The films starts with....



The other film opening I analysised was Cape Fear. This was a thriller film about a convicted rapist who is released from prison after 14 years and stalks the family of the lawyer that convicted him. The film starts with....

Music choices
