Ginger Snaps- Opening Sequence


The opening sequence to this film shows many different scenes of death. There are two shots of each scene. The real one and the rein-acted one. The sequence immediately scares you but it has been done very simply and would be a really easy opening title to re-create! This film falls into the genre categories of comedy/drama/horror.


Immediately from this first shot in the opening sequence you can tell that the film is in the horror genre, so it gives away the film genre straight away.
Here is another gruesome shot of someone rein-acting a death. If I were to choose to do a horror film opening sequence, these are all good and easy to do ideas to put in it. 
I like this high angle shot looking down on the bath because you get a full view of whats in the bath. The lighting and colours used in this shot are quite dark and mysterious.
This is a weird creepy message that shows that the film is going to be strange. The writing looks like a really young persons writing and the note is just plain weird. I could easily re-create a shot like this.
I think this shot is really horrible and creepy, I think the high contrast of black and white makes it seem more scary and weird. I like how the shot has been taken at a dutch angle, it makes it a bit more unusual.
Here she is rein-acting yet another scene of death. The lighting in this shot seems quite old and blurred.
