Vertigo
Vertigos opening credits are incorporated into the opening sequence adding to the narrative.
Hitchcock uses the opening sequence to help the audience relate to the title, because he uses many spinning objects, and there is a chase scene which is high up on roof tops.
The credits are layed over the top of the pictures, and the credits expand out towards the viewer. The font is clear and is white to stand out from the background.
At the very beginning there is a close up of a woman's lips, the camera then pans up to show her eyes, this suggests she is watching something. The camera then moves across to her right eye, where the lighting turns a deep red, and her eye opens widely, this suggests to the viewer she has witness something, and because a deep red has been used, it tells us she could have seen a murder take place.
The spiralling shapes show confusion, and creates a big of enigma because the viewer is left wondering why they are there.
The reason why there are many spinning objects, and high rooftop chases in the opening of the film, is because its meant to give the viewer and understanding into why the film is called Vertigo, and what it may include.
The viewer is obviously meant to be able to work out alot from the opening sequence of this film, because even the titles are in a bold white font expanding outwards.
But the chase scene creates a sense of enigma, because we do not know why the chase is happening, who is involved, and where the chase is happening.
The Orphanage
The opening of this film makes it quite obvious that it is classed in the horror genre, because its very eery and the soundtrack is almost disturbing as you are watching children play.
The credits are incorporated into the opening sequence and help to define the genre.
Little childrens hands tear away wall paper to reveal the credits, the hands are very pale, and there are many, suggesting maybe a supernatural presence.
Health and Safety considerations:
Lighting:
When using either the red heads or the portable lights we must make sure that any waires are taped up and that the lights themselves are on a stable base as so thay do not fall and cause injury. GLoves will be used when handling these lights, especially when they are turned on to avoid buring
Props:
As we are planning to use knives in our film we must make sure that we handle them with care, especially around other people
Trains:
We are going to be filming at a train station so we must take obvious precautions to not endanger ourselves or other people that may be at the station

Synopsis of Thriller opening - David, Chris and Jamie
We want to keep the story of our thriller opening simple, but we also wish to make the veiwer want to carry on watching the rest of the film. We will do this through raising Enigma codes and use of restricted narrative.
The plot of our thriller will be based on a phycotic murderer who is pursuing a victim. We will base this in a village and the targeted victim will be at a train station when the attackes choses to strike. The victim is then taken back to a house where he is gagged and knocked out by the murderer, with the use of knives the killer will kill people from his list of targets. The list is kept in the form of pictures.
The film starts whilst the victim is on the floor of his house, there will then be a flashback and the story will follow from there.
