Analysis of a previous student film opening-Succubus
Camera
The camera is used in a number of ways such as using medium shots and wide shots. This is used to show the audience the whole shot which may include the main characters, the setting etc. A high angel of the camera is also used when the victim is getting stabbed this higher angel of the camera is used in order to show the vulnerability of the victim. This helps to keep the audience stay engaged as they will feel sympathetic towards the character getting stabbed.
Sound
The sound used in the opening of the film 'Succubus' helps to keep the audience stay engaged whilst watching it. This is because non diegetic sound is used, which is sound added in post production which uses sound effects. The sound used is a loud scary note towards the end of the opening. This will create suspense for the audience and therefore want to carry on watching the rest of the film.
Editing
The way in which this opening is edited is done very well. This is because the use of cross cutting is used. This is when the editing takes us from one situation to another, usually back and fourth, to suggest two things are linked. In this case, a female is walking very slowly through a corridor and up the stairs this cross cuts to a male character in a shower. This shows that both these scenes will soon be linked. Another way in which this opening is well edited is because it uses slow and fast motion and. Slow motion is used when the female character is walking into the bathroom and fast motion is used whilst she is stabbing the male character. This may help the audience stay focussed and interested.

Mise en scene
-Lighting
The lighting in the opening of this thriller film is not very good as it seems to be very dim throughout, this makes it difficult for the audience to see the facial expressions of the characters and makes it difficult to watch it as a whole.

-Body Language
The slow motion in which the female character is walking indicates somethings about to happen. This leaves the audience is suspense
