Shrooms Opening. Only up to 1.25 minutes.

As my group would like to make a opening based around a woods scene and distressed people, to draw an audience in, i found that shrooms' opening linked very well to what we would like to do.
I think this because of the way that the credits are on and in the back ground to can hear heavy breathing, already within 15 seconds the audience are wanting to know whats happening. Whether the person is in pain or indeed running away from something or someone. The use of close ups in the opening, makes the audience question what is happening, with the use of a man in a sack mask and a dark shilot of a woman, why are they there and what are they there for? Again, making the audience want to know more. And this is what we have to incorporate into our opening scene.
The place in which the chase is taking place sets the scene really well as its in what seems to me to be a isolated forest, which is foggy, therefore setting an ery scene. Also that the lighting is a dark pastel grey/blue, makes it not seem like the middle of the night but late evening or i think early morning, therefore i could link that this girl has been stuck somewhere all night and has only just got out and is trying to find help. Linking back to flashes of images, maybe that's whats she running from, as they were all in the place she was kept in. The dark shadows makes the audience want to know what they are and what they look like as their identity is hidden, by the use of bright lighting behind them and blurring the camera.
The sound used, like the screaming of girls, makes it seem like a torcer chamber for girls, and her being a girl running way i could link in that she got away from this place.
