Mise en Scene

Here are the mise en scene we will be using to make the film opening look like it is in the horror/slasher genre and to help set the scene.



The murderer/stalker will be wearing a black cloak to cover their face to make it scarier and builds tension as the audience are unaware of the real identity of the murderer. This is used a lot in horror film openings to grip the audience as they will want to find out who the killer is and why they are doing it.


The woods is a place which we will film the opening sequence, as woods are associated with horror/slasher genre's. The trees will create a spooky atmosphere and the audience will immediatly recognise that it is a horror film as a lot have been set in eerie-looking woods.


The murderer will be using a knife in our opening sequence to make it look like a realistic murder. Weapons are a common convention of horror films, especially slasher where killings take place to indicate the more gorey genre.
