SOUND
The opeing doesn't use much sound, it's kept simple which has a great effect. It begins with various sound effects which stop to leave the effect of the heartbeat which gives the audience a omnious feel especially towards the ending when the heartbeat slows down, almost as it represents the life of one of the victims ending.
EDITING
Discrete, superimposed titles were used in this opening, it reminded me of the film 'Se7en', we, the audience don't exactly know what will happen in the plot of the film since the opening gives us no hints of actual events of the film. By using a discrete opening, the audience gains more interest in the film because they want to know what the footage used in the opening has to do wiith the content of the film.
MISE-EN-SCENE
Props
The various props used that I see were: a passport, polaroid pictures, paper+pen, a book, a magnifying glass, scissors, shears, screwdriver, water and a clock
Costume
One of the costume choices that stood out to ne was the girl with the scarf wrapped around her face like a make shift turban. Because of this, it doesn't allow the adience to relate to anyone seen in the opening, it also has the effect of keeping the audience in the dark. They don't know who is who, is this person a protagonist or a antagonist?
Lighting
The opening is full of quite a lot of shadows and dim footage to emphaises the feel and genre of the film, the dreary look of it reflects that the film is a horror
CINEMATOGRAPHY
The majority of the shoots used in this were close ups to increasr the tension thoughout the opening.
