Three film openings

The three film openings that i watched were:






The Hole






The Blair Witch Project







Shrooms




All three of these films helped us in there own way, but the best one for us was The Hole as it didn't give away much, it was based in the woods, not much speech and a great build of tension and atmosphere. Yes the other three were based in the woods, but it didn't have that magic that The Hole did with the main character struggling to run out of the woods as if she has been drugged and attacked, and with posters and leaflets of the four characters including her which were infact posters explaing they were missing, this instantly would draw the audiences attention, and that's the magic we wanted.

So we wanted the first person view and jerked camera shots. e.g. The actors holding the camera whilst running. from The Blair Witch Project, the gore and panning camera shots through the tree's and other woodland shrubery from Shrooms, and the atmospheric scenery from The Hole.
