-During credits there is thunder and lightning
-black background after credits before the start of the scene to let the audience think about what could be going on. This creates a high amount of tension.
-there is very low level lighting, there is a close up of one of the main characters however due to the lack of light there isn’t much chance to establish the character.
- then we see that the man is in fact underwater, this straight away puts the questions into the audiences head of what’s actually going on.
- there is still very low level lighting this is to stop the viewer from knowing completely what’s going on and to build the tension.
-the main character is breathing heavily and panting so is clearly distressed however the audience still doesn’t know why.
-there is a random voice talking in a low, groggy voice which again adds to the unknown
-the lights suddenly flash on and things become clear and the audiences first questions are answered however by what we then see give the viewers more questions.
It is clear that this is a horror as there is very low level lighting. The opening sequence doesn’t give much away however this builds the tension and allows the audience to build their own picture of what’s going on. There is very little mise-en-scene included as you don’t see much of what’s going on in the opening clip. Sound plays a very big part on the clip. This is the only thing that allows the viewer to know what’s going on. Although is doesn’t give much away it clearly shows that the character is distressed which automatically gives you a horror impression.
