Durham County

This is the first shot that is shown in this sequence .The use of a forest is a common convention used in horror films as taught from childhood “Never walk through a forest alone” As a forest is quite a big ground you may get lost … something may also be in there with you …

The use of black and white helps to set the scene , as darkness is also a fear most people have .

The production name has been given

Another common convention has been used in the next shot. A model of a young girl wearing a “red” jacket. Children ,young girls in particular are used as they are seen as more vulnerable .The use of the colour red suggests danger. The child has been given a distorted caricature like face which further plays with the audiences mind leaving them afraid and curious.

This may be an updated version of the childhood story ,Little Red Riding Hood ?

A back view of an unknown character is portrayed. This adds suspense as the characters face is not shown .

The use of black and white once again gives a feel of danger .The background is all black with a bright white light focusing on the centre of this shot to bring out the unknown figure.

Seen as the “Big Bad Wolf”?

A basket that looks like a picnic basket has been left in the middle nowhere .Blood stains are left underneath the basket .Blood further emphasises the sense of danger .This stands out as the black and white theme continues .

A basket carried by Little Red Riding Hood ?

A cutting of hair is placed on a nail implying the young girl is in danger .The walls are scratched into suggesting there may be a psycho or serial killer involved in this film.

Names have been given of cast members

A dead figure of a man has been used in this shot which further emphasises violence and danger .The use of a little hint of red is continued .

The “unknown character “ has been discovered. It is not known if this character is the antagonist or protagonist?

More names have been established

The colour red is repeatedly used. This time it has been used differently. The red roses portray two known meanings of love or loss.

This is the last shot of the sequence. This shot establishes the main location the film is set in .It emphasises the isolated space .

The name of the film is given at the end and is placed in the centre to emphasise this is the name of the movie itslef.The theme of the black an d white with a hint of red continues throughout the sequence and is linked in with the title of the film as the writing is black and the triangle is red.Triangles are also seen as a “danger” sign which sums up the movie theme and genre ,something “dangerous” is going to happen.
