In todays lesson, my group, Coppola, filmed our Premiminary task. This consists of myself walking through two doors and a corridor to meet Leanne and then exchanging dialogue about our weekend. We then went into the Mac suite and downloaded our footage onto a Mac and then started to edit the footage using Final Cut.

In the lesson today we learnt that the opening scene of the movie sets up for the rest of the movie. We watched the opening scene of Wrong Turn and looked at the audio and the visual aspects of creating tone in a horror movie.
In the opening scene of Wrong Turn firstly, you see a birds eye view of trees filmed by a helicopter, then you see two young people, one boy, and one girl rock-climbing, which is already a dangerous sport in itself. The music playing is orchestral and starts of slow and then the tempo gets faster to build up fear and tension for the audience. Stereotypically, the boy gets to the top first. There then comes a false scare which is the girl falling but she is then caught by her safety rope. This makes the audience think that the girl is in danger but then recovers. Whilst the girl falls, she screams, and the boy says a vital piece of information, 'who are you screaming for? we're fifty miles away from anyone' which tells the audience that they are isolated and alone.
The boy then turns around and a faint 'ugh' is heard which indicates that he has been stabbed or axed. He then falls down directly where the girl is climbing so that blood drips straight onto her face, this shows the audience that he has been hurt and leaves to the audiences imagination what has happened. The boy is then thrown over the edge of the rock and the girl's safety rope is pulled up to the top sharply and vigorously, while this then happens the tempo of the music gets faster and louder. The girl then then takes out a knife and cuts her safety rope and clings onto the wall, she sees the boys safety rope and uses it as a way of safety and tries to get to it but slips and falls. Once on the ground, a close up is then shown of the dead boys face covered in blood.
As the girl looks up, there is shaking of trees and screaming by whatever caused the killed the boy. The girl gets up and runs away through a small wood. The camera is hand held to show a point of view shot of what the girl is seeing whilst she is running through the woods. Then a close up of her feet and barbed wire, to show why she has fallen over, there is then another pint of view shot to show the car, this represents safety for her, she is so close but then a mid shot is shown of her being dragged away backwards. The audience cannot see what is dragging her because what the audience can imagine is far more scary than what can be shown on screen.
A big part of dialogue in this part of the film is screaming to show fear of the girl. Whilst the girl is running through the woods, the music is loud and fast to create anticipation of what is going to happen next.
