opening shots

I have decided to have a sequence of moving, panning shots of close up outdoor items to set the theme, and it will give the film a built up to the key moment. it will also allow enough time for the credits to appear. I will find interesting shots such as water in a puddle and the sun behind the tree's. There will then have the actors, producers, directors etc, coming up as the establishing shots introduce the film.
One of the shots I decided to use was a shot of a swing swinging in the breeze outside a house. this gives a spooky, tense feel for the audience. Thisalso allows a vulnerable and innocent perception of the upcoming events however with a dark effect.
I used this image to the left as inspiration as it is, as if there is someone there however you can not see it to the naked eye. This short sequence allows the audience to establish the surroundings and the general mood of the opening which builds up the tension and allows a climax for the key moment later on. I played around with the effects on the images to make them look creepy and I also make them very slow. I added some very piercing and uncomfortable music to the background to add to the scary effect.
