RESEARCH - Film Opening (2/2) Wrong Turn
Wrong Turn.
This is the opening of the horror thriller Wrong Turn, the first in a sequence of three films.
It begins with the titles, a introduction of the production company behind the film, 'Summit Entertainment' and 'Constan tin Film'.
The scene begins with a wide establishing shot, showing us the scenery and seemingly where the film will be set possibly.
Low key orchestral music is used to create a sinister, ominous feel in the scene and the audience is immediately informed that something bad will happen right from the beginning of the film. The orchestral music then comes to a sudden halt which creates more tension then suddenly begins again when the action comes, the mix of the fast paced orchestral music and the change into a higher key furthers the suspense of it..............
The opening then continues with the titles,which is a bit similar to the opening of Se7en introducing the director, Rob Schmidt then the stars, Desmond Harrington, Eliza Dushku, Emanuelle, Chriqui etc
Similarly to Se7en, the music is starts of low and gradually goes into a crescendo and the images, props and locations between the flashes of the actresses/actors names that hint the audience on what may be seen in the film and what may have happened or will happen. At the very end the very end of the opening, the orchestral music changes key and ends with really high, ringing notes that show the audience that something suspenseful will happen.
