Edit/Length of Shot: 09 Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: The film opening starts with the camera slowly moving downwards revealing what looks like an edited circle/orb object. It has the director’s name in the centre. It is an extreme close up of a mysterious object. This straightaway highlights the genre and confusion and suspense is raised. Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX: There is no actual music or dialogue in the opening so far, only a nondiegetic eerie sound in the background which sounds like the start to a song. The pitch of the note is fairly high which makes it sound scary and puts the viewer on edge. Edit/Length of Shot: 1016 Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: In this shot it is revealed that the mysterious orb object is actually a light. The camera rotates 180 degrees in this shot and also begins to move downwards. The director’s name slowly fades out making it evident that the object is a light. The camera doesn’t zoom in or out throughout this clip. Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX: The same nondiegetic music is also used in this part of the film opening. But now it sounds more like a haunting song rather than sounding like an eerie note of music. This music stays the same and is continuous throughout a large portion of the opening. Edit/Length of Shot: 1729 Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: In this clip the camera is slowly panning down the room revealing a young boy lying in his bed. He is looking directly at the camera, which makes the viewer confused as to why he would be alone in bed at night looking straight ahead of him. The camera then carries on into the next shot without cutting and editing clops together. Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX: There is still the same non diegetic music in the background in this part of the opening Edit/Length of Shot: 3043 Shot No/Type of shot/Camera/ Movement: The opening is one long continuous shit, meaning that it is not lots of short clips that has been edited together to be one. It is a continuous flowing clip. This particular part shows what looks like a kitchen, with the figure of a woman behind the curtains. The camera then slowly pans round to the right and goes through a doorway. The lighting is very dark creating a scary vibe. Sound – Dialogue/Music/Sound FX:

Edit/Length  of  Shot:  0-­‐9  

Shot  No/Type  of  shot/Camera/  Movement:  The  film  opening  starts  with  the  camera  slowly  moving  downwards  revealing  what  looks  like  an  edited  circle/orb  object.  It  has  the  director’s  name  in  the  centre.  It  is  an  extreme  close  up  of  a  mysterious  object.  This  straightaway  highlights  the  genre  and  confusion  and  suspense  is  raised.      

Sound  –  Dialogue/Music/Sound  FX:  There  is  no  actual  music  or  dialogue  in  the  opening  so  far,  only  a  non-­‐diegetic  eerie  sound  in  the  background  which  sounds  like  the  start  to  a  song.  The  pitch  of  the  note  is  fairly  high  which  makes  it  sound  scary  and  puts  the  viewer  on  edge.    

 

Edit/Length  of  Shot:  10-­‐16  

Shot  No/Type  of  shot/Camera/  Movement:  In  this  shot  it  is  revealed  that  the  mysterious  orb  object  is  actually  a  light.  The  camera  rotates  180  degrees  in  this  shot  and  also  begins  to  move  downwards.  The  director’s  name  slowly  fades  out  making  it  evident  that  the  object  is  a  light.  The  camera  doesn’t  zoom  in  or  out  throughout  this  clip.  

Sound  –  Dialogue/Music/Sound  FX:  The  same  non-­‐diegetic  music  is  also  used  in  this  part  of  the  film  opening.  But  now  it  sounds  more  like  a  haunting  song  rather  than  sounding  like  an  eerie  note  of  music.  This  music  stays  the  same  and  is  continuous  throughout  a  large  portion  of  the  opening.  

Edit/Length  of  Shot:  17-­‐29  

Shot  No/Type  of  shot/Camera/  Movement:  In  this  clip  the  camera  is  slowly  panning  down  the  room  revealing  a  young  boy  lying  in  his  bed.  He  is  looking  directly  at  the  camera,  which  makes  the  viewer  confused  as  to  why  he  would  be  alone  in  bed  at  night  looking  straight  ahead  of  him.  The  camera  then  carries  on  into  the  next  shot  without  cutting  and  editing  clops  together.  

Sound  –  Dialogue/Music/Sound  FX:  There  is  still  the  same  non-­‐diegetic  music  in  the  background  in  this  part  of  the  opening    

Edit/Length  of  Shot:  30-­‐43  

Shot  No/Type  of  shot/Camera/  Movement:  The  opening  is  one  long  continuous  shit,  meaning  that  it  is  not  lots  of  short  clips  that  has  been  edited  together  to  be  one.  It  is  a  continuous  flowing  clip.  This  particular  part  shows  what  looks  like  a  kitchen,  with  the  figure  of  a  woman  behind  the  curtains.  The  camera  then  slowly  pans  round  to  the  right  and  goes  through  a  doorway.  The  lighting  is  very  dark  creating  a  scary  vibe.

Edit/Length  of  Shot:  57secs  -­‐  1:09  

Shot  No/Type  of  shot/Camera/  Movement:  In  this  part  of  the  film  opening  the  camera  is  slowly  moving  towards  what  looks  like  a  doll/ghost/demon.  It  looks  like  the  camera  is  zooming  towards  her  face  in  this  clip.  It  starts  of  as  a  long  shot  and  ends  up  as  a  close  up  so  that  we  can  see  detail  in  the  demons  face.  The  lighting  in  this  shot  is  extremely  dark;  we  can  only  see  the  demon  as  they  are  holding  a  candle  under  their  chin.  

Sound  –  Dialogue/Music/Sound  FX:  There  is  still  no  dialogue  so  far  in  the  opening.  The  music  has  increased  in  tempo  and  sounds  very  dramatic  as  we  see  the  scary  demon.    This  makes  the  viewer  feel  like  something  bad  is  going  to  happen  as  the  music  intensifies    

 

Edit/Length  of  Shot:  1:10  –  1:19  

Shot  No/Type  of  shot/Camera/  Movement:  In  this  clip  of  the  opening  it  starts  as  a  black  screen.  The  title  ‘Insidious’  then  quickly  pops  up  as  if  to  make  the  viewer  jump.  This  highlights  the  genre  of  the  film  as  horror  films  typically  make  the  viewer  or  the  audience  jump.  The  title  is  red,  which  is  associated  with  blood  and  the  colour  of  evil.  The  font  of  the  title  is  also  very  old  fashioned  maybe  highlighting  the  era  that  the  film  is  set  in.  

Sound  –  Dialogue/Music/Sound  FX:  The  sound  in  this  clip  starts  off  as  a  silence.  A  loud  noise  that  sounds  slightly  like  screaming  is  introduced  at  the  same  time  that  the  title  pops  up.    There  is  no  dialogue  at  all  throughout  the  film  opening,  making  the  viewer  feel  confusion  and  creates  mystery  as  to  what  is  going  on.
