We also put our protagnoist in a nice house which is rather large, we wanted to do that to back up our representation of middle class social groups.

How does your opening sequence represent particular social groups?
Our opening sequence represented a middle class, nicely dressed, white female. We showed this off by putting her in very nice clothes, very high heels, plain jeans, a long black coat, and a bag. She looked very professional with no flesh showing. We did this because of the research we found.

In what ways does your opening sequence use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real opening sequences?
Our short film is of a horror genre, We tried to follow these forms and conventions of a typical horror by making it seem quite dark and jumpy, for example we put parts of the opening sequence in night mode so it was of a monochrome mode and it seemed a lot more darker, which also highlighted the lighter parts of the face of the main protagonist.
We also used very quick pace shots and flashbacks, we used editing software to speed up some of the shots to make it seem more scary because everything comes at once.
Although we challenged forms and conventions by dressing the protagonist in quite a upper class manner, we put her in heels a black coat with a big black bag, looking very business like. The research that we did showed us that usually the protagonist is dressed quite plainly.
