Props.

The props in my opening are pretty important as in a typical horror film props are used to get across to the audience what genre it is and helps set the scene. Some of my props used will help raise enigma codes to the audience which will make them wanting to watch more to find out what is going to happen and foreshadow later events.

The first prop I have in my opening sequence is a mobile phone. This is a typical horror convention as when there is a tense moment happening, a mobile phone normally starts ringing to scare the audience and then set up enigma codes of who is ringing? I am going to have the phone ringing to make the audience wonder if it's the killer but then really it is only going to be her boyfriend.

Next is the most important prop in my opening sequence, the year book. This will set the scene for the audience and make it more clear that Ruby has a stalker and show the reason that he is obsessed with her (love). It also raises enigma codes of many different things. It will keep the audience left on the edges of their seat as they will not know who is the stalker etc.
