I will deter from the traditional convention route in order to try and add as much interest and excitement to my film opening as possible. I will be using the realist/documentary effect with dim lighting in order to convey a sense of anticipation and expectancy of ominous danger. I also will use the POV angle in order to give the viewers a feeling of being in the character's footsteps and giving it a more life-like feel to the film.
