Fallen-Audience Research Questions

1.) What Generic conventions would you expect to see in the film opening of a horror film?

 

2.) Our idea is: To have one main character, a teenage girl. We see the girl walking back from her friend’s house, blaring out some music on her headphones. When she gets home the door is slightly cracked open. She starts to look around her house and as she looks up at the ceiling she sees a hand full of petals. The petals fall and cover her face, and when she wipes them away she's covered in cuts and blood. The film will then follow on to tell the story of how this strange event occurred. We find out that close friends and family members start dying out one by one and they start to haunt the teenage girl. The girl starts to panic and runs to wash it off in the shower and petals start to fall again.

- What do you think of our idea so far?

3.)What films have you seen where the opening two minutes have been memorable to you? Why?
4.) Do you have any other ideas that you would like to put forward for our film?

5.) After hearing the synopsis of our 2 minute opening, what kind of character would you expect to play the teenage girl?

6.) Would our opening sequence make you want to watch the rest of the film?
