Analyse openings from your chosen genre

Drag Me To Hell
Editing: Continuous editing with smooth transitions.
Sound: The non-diegetic sound used is relevent and fits well with the theme of the film.
Shot type: The clip is visually interesting and keeps the audience engaged.
Mise: The colours used were very gloomy and mysterious with flashes of bright lights. This helped to convery the themes of suspence and shock.
Titles: The transitions between titles were very effective. The fonts used in the opening titles works well with the genre and don't draw too much attention away from the rest of the clip.
Characters:



The Ring
Editing: Continuous editing used to create a realistic feel.
Sound:The diegetic sound of the girls talking, the phone ringing and the white noise make it seem like you are actually there with them rather than the use of backing music.
Shot type: The different shot types keep it interesting whilst keeping a slow and mysterious pace.
Mise:Dark lighting. The two girls are wearing white shirts to connotate innocence.
Titles: There are no titles at the beginning of 'The Ring' to give it a more realistic feel so that it doesn't feel like you are watching a film and more like real life events.
Characters: The characters all seem like normal people which makes it much more relatable for the audience.
