The speech at the beginning straight away gives you a sense
of the horror genre. The voice used is very scary the diegetic sound gives an
instant impact to the audience it makes
them believe that the woman definitely
has something wrong with her.
The setting of the opening it firstly a woman in her home
speaking to a man In a police department. You can not see the woman making the phone
call which is a good technique as it leaves you second guessing on what has actually
happened in the home . After the phone call ends it goes to the murder scene .
The scene of the police first entering
the home is not filmed on the typical modern movie camera. It is meant to be
like a police officer is showing you his first finding , just as you are seeing
the findings. It allows you to relate to the situation as there are no in
particular shots in this , it is just the footage of one man.
The house is very messy with lamps and furniture all offer
the room , this is suggesting there is something wrong going on in the home as
it really has not been taken care off. This at first may no be seen that there
is not a lot of detail but it adds such a great input. After this they move
into the ‘ murder scene ‘ you see a
wrench on the floor with blood everywhere , the officer explain that it is the
murder weapon , it gives you an insight on the brutality of the murders. It
gives a sence on a psychotic desperate killer using whatever they can , then
you relate it to the strange voice of Maria at the beginning of the credits and
it lets you put all the pieces together.
The next part is very strange for opening titles , you
actually see a dead body which is strange
as you do not really reveal any deep information , but this straight away allow
you to see deep into the situation from the point of view from the policeman .
The lighting used is very low key with little filler lights
, showing a dark situation which relates with the murders.
