After some discussion, Rosie and I have drawn up some initial ideas for our horror/teen movie opening:
A chase scene, contrasting to a slow motion scene; the juxtaposition of a bright, happy, loud situation with a quiet, dark and dangerous scene. The scene should show many of the conventions for teen thriller, utilizing cliche techniques such as the ''following shot'', shot from the POV of a hidden, unknown person following one of the characters we are already familiar with.
If we were to use this shot, it would be to show the danger facing that character; another technique we may use is the layering of sound (both diegetic and non-diegetic) over opposing scenes (Eg. switching the sound between the supposed 'happy scene' and 'scary scene', which would build a creepy, unnatural atmosphere of tension).
Another of our initial ideas is to roll the credits after the climax of the first two scenes (which would probably be switching back and forth between throughout) and to further build the tension and dangerous thrill asosciated with Teen Horror by showing disjointed images over a minor-key music track.
We will continue with building our initial ideas after completing research into our topic, to give us further reference.

This definitely sounds good. With the credits at the end where we will show the disjointed images I do think that there should be pictures of different social groups having a good time, making it quite disturbing. This would be accentuated by the use of the minor-key music track, which will create a contrasting effect.
