The Ring Film Opening
Zoe, Ellie, Kelsey and Max
The Opening starts off With the film company animation. It's dark and theres a mysterious noise in the background which suggests that the genre of this film is going to be horror. It then goes on to a typical convention of a horror film which is a dark house, the weather is rainy and horrible and it's a low angle shot to make the house look vulenrable. The cosy setting inside the house gives the audience a false sence of security , this contrasts with the ouside which is dark and scary. The girls are watching the TV and it's talking about how TV kills your brain cells. This could be a sence of foreboding. The Dark door way behind the character creates suspence and tension as we don't know whats lerking in the dark. The zooming close up of the girl's face as she is telling a scary story this adds tension and makes the audience pay more attention to what the girl is saying. Tension is built up by droning music in the background and the girl fakes her death the tension then automatically drops. Zooming in as the telephone rings makes the tension rise again and makes the audience feel on edge. The silence when answering builds up the tension which then turns into a joke. The phone in the foreground shows its importance and that the girl is scared of it. The girls opens the fridge Wwhich adds suspense because you think there is going to be someone behind the fridge. This makes the aduience feel on edge. The TV suddenly turns on and the TV is white and there is a horrible noise, this links with the noise at the beginning. The living room is homely which juxtaposes with the eerie TV and turns itself back on by itself which makes the character and audience scared. The quick shots of her pulling the TV socket out and makes sparks. This makes the audience jump and feel on edge. The high angle shot of the girl shows that she is vulnrable . The girl dies in the end which makes the audience jump and the white noise at the beginning is played again.
