TRANSCRIPT

The sound starts with the sound of tools being used and burning, both sounds are ambient and the first blends into the second. The killer ‘Freddie’s’ voice is heard

narrating his story (Diegetic sound & voice over that is continuous throughout the opening.) and future plans . This is synchronous because what we hear is seen on screen including screams of a young girl is heard with

chilling background music. To then he introduces another main character(Jason) where his iconic(non diegetic ) sound effect from the jason films is the last sound. (character theme music) that announces his

presence.

Sound

Lighting

The lighting tends to be gloomy and dark in horrors.  Here it is the same , and is used to connote the binary opposites of good vs evil.  With the dull coloured setting to having a dark cold look, that is the last shot ,which has harsh blue light reflecting upon the character compared to the contrast of red/fire that was used to burn the character.

Shots

This is a  establishing long shot that shows the setting which is this fits into the slasher genre as it is an isolated setting  (a factory) that means there is no help or rescue where there is nowhere to hide suggesting danger can come easy.

This is Close up of a doll being thrown into the fire and emphasis danger with fire and the colour of the fire (red) . The doll  also shows relevance as the killer is a child killer  and he died through being burned in fire.

This is a close up of knife attached to a finger, this gives information to the audience of who this iconic killer is. The lighting of knife emphasize its importance to the film and reminder of the genre (slasher).

This is a Medium long shot , allowing the audience to see the entire victim in this isolated setting with nowhere to escape . From this you can understand the girl is in danger in a dark setting with the colours red and black ,both colours that connotes danger. Lighting in this shot works very well as you can see the killer’s shadow over the girl as if it was consuming her. The  shadow this then gives more information to what is happening child in danger=child killer.

This is a Medium shot of a well known death flashback from the iconic slasher when it first appeared in the 80’s , this then shows a non linear narrative going back into the past. With the blood, it confirms what genre and film this is to audiences (slasher).

This is a Extreme Close up of the killers mouth . with the black sharp dirty teeth suggests something bad and evil about this character and the wrinkled dead like looking face suggests they are dangerous. The harsh blue lighting highlights half the mouth to strike mystery and fear surrounding the character.

This is extreme close up of a mask , which tells the audience who this is from another iconic killer from a slasher movie from the 80’s with the character theme music. This then creates suspense and questions both killers coming together. There is lighting on half the mask which suggests danger / evil, with the mask being dirty suggests there setting is a outside (Crystal lake) and reflects upon the character.

Firstly black fades into the opening, with many jump cuts with the reminiscing of the past, back to black to a jumpcut to present day with a jump cut and zoom into the mask (jason) with a zoom into the eye of the mask with another jump cut on to the next scene ,all in a fast pace to keep up with the fast action  mid way in the opening, to the pace slowing down that builds suspense to the audience to draw their attention.

Editing

Binary opposite narrative and Non-linear as there are flashbacks in the opening of freddy’s past , and Jason’s past later in the film.
