Opening Sequence

The opening sequence i analysed is the remake of texas chainsaw massacre (2003), the opening scenes allow the audience to establish the genre because it starts off with a  black background,this is followed by a picture of a baby the camera is in shallow focus this makes the image stand out from the background because around it is darkness. Also the image is in sepia this connotates that is it old. The babys face is distorted around the mouth and this was shown becuase it shows the antagonist was brought up differntly to other children becuase he stands out.
They have used flashes which builds tension because the audience don't know what is going on also they way it has been edited together makes the audience feel uneasy. There is a shot of a police record this allows the audience to know the genre and that some sort of crime is involoved and we also find out the name of the antagonist. The image of writing creates a Historical mood of a police report that somebody is following wich also makes it personal.the word ‘Mutilation’ is shown which introduces the chracters personality that he is evil and twisted.
We then seen a time line of the boys life at the age of 9 we seen a him dragging a dead animal this shows that from a young age he is killing and dangerous alos at 12 he is ivloved with tourture weapons and handcuffs. There is some background history of the texas town such as there meat factory is shut down leaving the town desserted. This is followed by the words ‘mental’ this also shows the character personality, it is handwritten to make it personal. The last couple of shots are of him grown up and we can tell this by he's dirty hands and he is burning and scratching the face out of hes childhood pictures. the narrative is shown through the use of props and coustumes.
The soundtrack is non diegetic and it is uses low violins to create a spooky effect. There is also diegetic sound of a man sayin ' Don't worry about it johnny' this is with a close up shot of a boy with a bandage round he's face this was edited in this way because johnnys face is a problem for him so this is why the mans voice is enhanced by making it echo to show it was something said in the past. the sound builds enigma because it makes the audience feel as if something bad is going to happen, also special effects are used when the file is droped enhancing the sound to build tension.
