Evaluation Firstly, this film trailer for "The Conjuring 2" has given me ideas of what too include in my film opening, for example the use of mise-en-scene such as dim lighting (which is a key convention of a horror genre movie, using Barthes enigma theory it's the semantic code to symbolise the tension and eerie atmosphere), casual wear as the costumes for the characters (as my film opening has teenagers as the main characters), the location being in a house (this is a stereotypical location of horror movies as many teenage horror here films include murder in a house) and the period being the 21st century as this will appeal to my target audience more as it's modern and therefore seem more realistic.

Furthermore, the editing which I will include in my film opening are blackouts, linking to Barthes Enigma Theory, to use the hermeneutic code, which refers to any element of the story which isn't fully explained, therefore the audience sees this as a mystery and wonders what may occur next. The purpose is to typically keep the audience guessing. Also, fast cuts between different scenes at a fast paste to create tension and make the cuts of the scenes and music to be similar to a heartbeat, which can fear the audience watching even more. Close-up shot-reverse-shots will also be used to build an atmosphere and show the expressions on each character and the weapons which will be used (such as a knife).

In addition, the cinematography which I will include are close-ups, which is used to show the expressions of the character and this makes the audience sympathy with them. Medium shots will be used to show the murderer walking through the house, to connote danger and fear the audience watching. Also, extreme close-up shots of the victims who die (mainly focusing on the faces of the victims) and a long low-angle shot of the house to connote vulnerability of the audience and mystery as to what happens next.

Finally, the sounds used will be mainly non-diegetic such as screeching music and loud and heavy drum noises to represent the heartbeat of a human, which will cause fear to the audience watching and psychologically confuse them. This is another convention of  a horror genre due to using many psychological aspects such as many stories not being told properly throughout the film to play with the audiences mind and confuse them. However, within my film opening, I will not be using any diegetic sounds due to the opening mainly being a walkthrough of the house, however some noises of footsteps may be used.
