Our opening sequence embeds elements of our research. For example I discovered that the killer character in horror extracts tend to be a male character. The purpose of this is that the male gender is recognized as being the dominant gender.
Another research that we added into our sequence is the victim being a female character. The reason behind this is that stereotypically females are portrayed as being vulnerable and innocent. This helps create the idea of a helplessness character in sheer danger.
A common convention that we researched was the use of a specific weapon intertwined in horror extracts. Similarly we used a rectangular metal knife that Arron Mallory was holding, as this enhances his brutal personality.
From research, I also deduced that the killer commonly hides his identity via a mask. So in our opening sequence we used a white mask, covered in fake blood which emphasises the menacing element of the character.
