Reflection

If my partner and I were to re-create the final outcome for our film opening, then there are things I would personally change. I would like to keep the idea of the horse featuring, however, I would also choose some different conventions of a horror film so the horse does not feature as much. Looking back at the film opening, I have come to realise that this feature tends to become quite boring, it is still effective, just more so in a smaller dose. I would also use a wider variety of camera shots, ones in which look more technical and can appear effective in a horror film. Such as, looking from the 'killers' point of view so the audience can relate to their character more as they only see this particular in the background, or in the eye-line match, when the killer is staring at the victim and her horse. The audience only see the bad-side of the killer, however, there could be a reasonable explanation as to why they are like they are. From the use of mise en scene and camera angles, next time I would be able to use this in the killers point of view. Overall, I am happy with the outcome of our film opening and although there are things I would change, I would want us to stick to the original narrative as I feel it was effective.
