Genre
After looking at our ideas we decided that we would do a Horror Film opening. We looked briefly at other genres but believed that horror would be the best option for creating an opening. Horror film normally connote the film genre rather earily in the opening. This is very different compared to comedies where laughs dont come until 5-10 minutes in. Our horror intro will have to draw viewers in straight away and immediatly connote the genre. This could happen throough eerie non-diegetic sound and low lighting. Because horrors can be mistaken for a thriller we will include e.g. a murder etc at the start.
Resources
As the genre is horror we will film in the evening. This is so the lighting is eerie and suits the genre.
We need a place which will be empty so either our school at the night, or an abandoned place etc would suit us. We know the school will let us use various offices and corridors to film, so at the moment that is the most likely to happen. That is likely to be the most effective. We will act ourselves, as Ella is the smallest she will be the young girl, as Siobhan is taller she will be the Teacher and as the only male in the group i will be the security guard. This is so we can film when we want to and not have to rely on others.We have a dress and white face paint for Ella and Siobhan will wear sophistacated clothing. I will wear a luminous jacket as it is what security guards wear.

Techniques
We will be using a number of shots. We will use a lot of CCTV to make our film different to others. We will use a mixture of long and mid shots as well as some close ups. The close ups will be used to frighten the audience, we will use them to show the ghost child as well as to show the characters reactions. We will use shots to show the locations, e.g. corridor etc, and by using long shots we will show the relationship between the characters. We will use dollys and tripods to ensure the filming is smooth and looks professional.
We haven't including any dialogue in our opening scene so the characters seem alone, this adds to the eeriness. On the other hand we will be using non-diagetic sound to build tension and we may add a scream sound to make the audience jump.
