To make our film sequence, we researched a variety of different styles of how we can portray mise-en-scene and costume and make-up would be vital to create a good opening. From our research we found that blood and ripped, dirty clothing is common in these types of films which has helped us try and link mise-en-scene into our sequence.
Websites such as http://horrorgenre.com/Special_Effects_Make-up_and_Animatronics/ and
http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2008/02/19/makeup-secrets-of-movie-horror-pictures/ have shown that make-up is a key concept in the opening and we will have to try and link it into the sequence.
Costume is also key because it will be vital to create a realistic environment to film. We were thinking of making our 'murderer' dress casually and the little girl in the sequence to wear a floral dress; this can continue to create a realistic feel as we want the sequence to look as effective as possible.
