Analyse A Film Opening Sequence

The film that I am analysing is 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' the film was directed and produced by Tobe Hooper. The opening sequence allows the audience to establish the genre of the film which is horror. I know this because the opening sequence of the film shows a very dark background slowly fades in showing a picture of a baby. The baby doesn’t seem to have a normal face which helps the audience to adapt the film’s storyline. The open sequence the light flashes to cause the audiences to become enigma it also shows a shadow of a man this tells us that he is looking at the pictures. The camera then quickly pans across and shows a police document with the name “Thomas Hewitt”. This starts to gives us a brief idea on what is going on. The lights start to brighten and it shows a man wrapping another man’s face with bandage this starts to introduce the characters and shows us that the man who is getting wrapped is Johnny. This also tells the audience that the film genre is a horror.
The narrative is established straight away when the police document are shown telling the audience something had happened in the past. It also shows little clips like the man with the dirty hand burning the picture of the baby. The editing also helps establish what is going on especially by the montage. There are many scenes put together that show us the whole town and it c
The sound that is used is non diegetic sound which helps adapt the scene. The music is spooky and violins are played. Diegetic sound is also used when the man says “Don’t worry about it Johnny” .this introduces Johnny as the man that is getting the bandage wrapped round his face. The Texas chainsaw massacre open sequence doesn’t have many characters. It just shows us a brief introduction to the story.
ross cut showing us what is happening as well.
The opening sequence builds a tension which makes the audience feel uneasy because they don’t know what is going to happen it makes them feel uncomfortable.
