1. The conventions found in this film opening include multiple
close-up shots of blood dripping onto a piece of cloth, non- diegetic sound with background music, and establishing shots of mountains covered in snow. 2. The elements in this opening I think represent death in some way because of the constant showing of blood in the close- ups. 3. The credits part integrated with moving images in a very subtle way. Most of them were viewed over black or white screens and some during the cut shots of the blood. The font wasnt very big and most of the time in white. 4. The audience for this film opening is obviously adults. The movie would not be at all appealing to children due to the references made throughout. 5. The genre for this film is thriller. It is shown through the non- diegetic background music that creates lots of suspense, and lots of close-up shots of blood 6. The features of this film opening I would use in my own is the simplicity of the lettering for the credits. It is simple, but very effective. THE EXORCIST
1. The conventions found in this film opening include
establishing shots that show the setting of Northern Iran, close-up shot of Virgin Marys face, and a long take that shows a black and what picture of the sun quickly gain color. Non-diegetic sound of some type of ancient singing. 2. The elements in this opening represent a very suspenseful opening scene that foreshadows to some significance with the things that were shown. 3. The credits part integrated with moving images by showing the name of the movie in a black screen that transitioned from one shot to another. 4. The audience for this film opening is adults in my opinion just cause of the suspenseful nature of the opening scene. 5. The genre for this film is Thriller. It is shown through the conventions shown throughout the beginning and in specific the sun shot that turns into color. 6. The features of this film opening I would use in my own is the typography of the film title. The large lettering with red color that probably represents blood.
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
1. The conventions found in this film opening include non-
diegetic sounds of music, diegetic sounds of screams, close- ups of objects the main character is grabbing, low-key lighting, and a fast paced editing with lots of cuts. 2. The elements in this opening represent fear. The very dark setting and the eerie music in the background introduce the film in a way thats very scary. 3. The credits part integrated with moving images by coming in throughout every shot. Different shots, had different credits. 4. The audience for this film opening is adults and those who generally like these type of scary movies. The opening isnt fit for children for example. 5. The genre for this film is thriller and horror. It is shown through the techniques used throughout the opening scene. 6. The features of this film opening I would use in my own opening would be a similar type font.
