YM- Analysis of ideas.



- I really like the way the opening sequence is a flashback to set the mood and story for the rest of the film. It is a simple way to captivate the audience while simply explaining the basis to the story.
- The use of lighting in this clip is highly effective to create a sense of mystery: using the weather for the idea behind the flashing light is a good, effective way to compress time.
- The voice over at the beginning, shows what has driven him to do what we are shown: it is simple but effective and easy to do, and at the same time being something different to dialogue.

Although this is a horror film and not a thriller, there are some conventions and stylistic features I think we can take and adapt- especially if we continue with our plan to do a psychological thriller.
