Opening Sequence of ''Evil Dead''

The use of typography for this opening is effective as it immediately introduces the genre of the film. It's red and messy, connoting blood and violence etc. The setting of the opening sequence also immediately indicates how the film is going to be, as the setting is foggy, and murky and eerie. The scene suddenly changes from this setting, to the viewing of a car passing by, with someone singing. This scene does not match with the previous one, suggesting to the audience that something isn't right. The chopping and changing from these two scenes further emphasizes that something is wrong. The music played during the scene of inside the car also does not match, as it is upbeat and intense, suggesting something is approaching. The tracking shot of the car suggests to the audience that something is following the car, thus increasing the fear factor. The close up of the seat outside of the cabin indicates to the audience that it plays a significant role in the opening sequence. 

The use of camera angles and movement is an effective element of this opening sequence, as it builds up tension and fear. This type of horror is the kind of horror my group and I would like to create for our final piece. The audience this film is aimed at seems to be teenagers, as it's about a group of young people. This is the audience our film will be aimed at, as we are going with the genre of teen horror. The camera angles in this clip will be very influential on what we decide to use, as they create the feeling of being watched, and help to build up the feelings of fear and tension.
