MBR HORROR/THRILLER initial ideas!

Our initial ideas were to do a Thriller/Horror combined. We then decided to not incorporate horror into our opening sequence as we wanted to leave suspence and make the scene mysterious.We want to aim at 16-20 year olds as the people acting in our opening sequence are this age and therefore it will appeal to teenagers and people of similar ages.

Sixth Sense opening scene!

At the start of the clip the couple are happy and it could seem like a film from the romance genre. But on the other hand the music contrasts as it is more sinister, so this leaves the viewer thinking this could be a hybrid genre film.
In this clip, the owner of the house finds an intruder and a confrontation is then caused between the two of them. As well as this the broken window causes the viewer to wonder whats going to happen next and who caused the breaking of the window, leaving suspence. This scene is all based around suspence as everything is prolonged, when the man shoots the owner of the house and then himself this is predictable ending to the scene because of props and use of language.
