The Grudge

(Zak,hannah and Vans group)

The opening of the film starts off with drops of blod, this is an convections on a horror film, as it carrys the Film companys name comes up and again the drops of blood come onto the screen.

It then switches to a red background, this is common in horror films, it shows the genre if the film clearly. The charactors and actors names then come up, we then go into a flashback, which is in black and white. this can show that it is flashback to the olden days. it then does quick cuts to the credits everything in the opening is quick making a climax.

This climax the carrys on as we go into a fight scene, untill the girl has been killed in a grusom way. This is showing the story of which the horro film has been based on.As the fight scene is going on we see a little boy, and then we see he scene from the boys vei looking down from the starirs, we then see a point of veiw shot from the victms (the girls) perspective. the violence then carrys on and we see a cat being killed, this will make the audience on edge as they dont know what the killer will do next.
We then see a close up of the dead girl on the loor in black and white which makes the film seem dated,but in this shot wecant see the little boy on the stairs. we then have a equilibrum back to present day, we have an establishing shot of the scene where the girl was killed in black and white. We then have a brids eye of the house, it then quickly goes into the house and we have the same veiw point from the boy on the stairs again.
We then have a low angle shot up the stairs, and the girl is slowly crawling down the stairs in the position in which she died in, with her hair over her face, which becomes a motif throught out the film. Once she is half way down the stairs everything reverses to the begging to start the film.
