This timeline will help me understand how to use camara angles and shots effectively in an opening as well as how to order titles effectivly.
Analysis
Genre
From the opening you cant really tell 100% what the genre would be due to the fact it is only and establishing shot which rotates around the house. But you can tell it will be a horror/thriller due the the supence formed by the slow movement of the camera and the music.
Narrative
You dont get any information about the film other then its somthing to do with this house.
Character
No characters are shown but you get the impression that the characters will be a family or person who lives in the house.
Atmosphere
The sound of the piano really builds a creepy atmosphere which makes you feel on edge. the slow rotation around the house builds a tense atmosphere because it makes you feel like somthing is going to jump out any minute.
Themes
The themes are unknown and kept secret in the opening. Nothing is shown other then the house.
Setting
An old looking house surrounded with bare trees. Due to the fact no lights are no in the house it look abandoned which helps build the creepy tension.
Tiltles
The titles are non intergrated and appear centre screen which makes them standout.
Sound
The sound is a eary piano which makes you feel on edge and it helps build the creepy tension.
