We are making our short film in the drama genre so are looking at screen caps of films from the same genre.
This film is called 'Gone Girl'. It is in the genre of drama and also mystery, which are the genres we are making our film. The title of the film suggests that there has been a disappearance of a girl and no one is quite sure where she has gone and what has happened to her and suggests that the film will be centred on finding her and discovering the truth. The title is small, central and in a bold, block font. It is white against a darker background so it can be read easily.
2. Setting/locations:
This film is called '10 Cloverfield Lane'. It is again relating to our film genres, with mystery and drama. It is set in a bunker, the place where the characters live and have to stay due to an apocalyptic event which is a widespread chemical attack. One of the rooms is small and bare with one singular mattress against one wall. It is dark and un-homely. It would be similar to where we would have the shots of the dead girl, to give it a creepy and neglected feel.
3. Costume/props:
These costumes are from 'Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 2'. This film again relates to our chosen genre and uses modern but casual costumes to make the characters appear to be regular teenagers in their normal clothes. This would be similar to the kinds of things our characters would wear, so that the audience could get a feel of how old they are and what kind of people they are.

4. Title font and style:
This film is 'Se7en'. It relates to our film genre and uses the font of the title to show this. The font is bold, central and takes up most of the screen. It is white and stands out against the black background and looks unusual in the way that it style it has been written in. A sense of mystery is created and it leaves the audience with questions, which is what we hope to do with our film title.

5. A key point for the opening and how it creates the story:
This film is 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. These shots show key points from the opening sequence that hint to the narrative. The first shot shows ink running through the keys of a keyboard, which hints to the ink used in tattoos, suggesting the dragon tattoo on the female lead character. The keyboard suggests her hacking skills on the computer as she uses them to aid the main character in an investigation.

The second shot shows a figure made out of wires and cables, with more computer cables coming towards it. This again references the girl with the dragon tattoo's skill with computers and her ability to hack into them. Which out film opening we hope to use the shots to hint to different parts of the narrative and build up the drama and suspense.
6. How the opening suggests the genre:
This film is 'Oldboy'. It is a drama and mystery genre film and the opening shows this in the first shot, since it is dark and is raining. It is set in what appears to be a sidestreet or a road with a small lit telephone box on the side. It creates suspense and starts to make the audience think about what will happen in the narrative.
The second shot is a close up of a clock face with loads of different numbers on it and the hands tick round. It is slightly blurred round the edge and out of focus, creating more suspense and leaving the audience questioning why the clock is involved. We hope to have this effect on our audience as well.
