Scream opening sequence


I looked at Scream and had to write about the sound, mise-en-scene and what is done in an opening sequence for a horror film.



  • Dimension films (horror genre)

  • Dark Music

  • Black screen, and scream in white which turns to red in a locking nosie, scary.

  • Screams over the top (Non Digetic Sound)

  • Establishing shots of the house outside, very quiet and dark. Perfect for horror genre

  • Close ups on important objects in the film eg, Phone

  • Phone keeps ringing, scary man voice

  • Popcorn and knives props to make the audience uneasy

  • Point of view from girl, makes audience see through her eyes

  • Sound and images unsettle the audience

  • Non-Digetic scary music is used alot
