analysing different film openings

Angeldust

this is the movie i will be analysing above.


In Angel Dust there is an ambi gous atmosphere it seems like everything is fine however it is not, this is seen through the mise en scene created. Even the production logo at the beginning of the opening shows us that there is going to be danger(bleeding hand) , it also establishes what genre the film may be.


a teenage girl is depicted she  video blogs her life onto an internet based social networking site called facespace, and is stalked by another use on facespace. The background colour of the site is white which signifies the innocence and vulnerability of the teenage girl.


the sound is not over done and conveys to us that something is not right , they have used sound effectively to allow us to experience this. furthermore , we never get a view of the  person she is talking to apart from his or her hands this makes us want to watch more and creates a sense of urgency to the viewer to find out who this person behind the computer is.
the girl is also depicted playing with her necklace quite a lot this conveys to us her innocence.


After watching about 30 seconds of the clip, i could tell that the students had put a lot of thought and effort into creating the best opening they could have. They also use of a stylized opening, that relates to their film.
