Some inspiration for our opening sequence came from the film 'Scream' and that sequence of films where there are many killings in the same area. There are many shots in 'Scream' and its sequals where the killer is behind the girl in the shot (which can be seen in the picture below). This type of film shot will be perfect for the ideas in our opening as they create tension for the audience. The main difference our film opening will have compared to 'Scream' is that we would prefer to try and make our film more dark and mysterious, certainly avoiding all commical elements.
I read websites such as the following link that is about the five best horror film openings in order to gain inspiration and further idea. "When A Stranger Calls" is on the lists and includes a babysitter, just like our film idea. Our research supports the ideas we have for the film treatment and has given us ideas of the conventions of a horror film opening.
