From watching different horror/thriller films i have duplicated different parts of each of these films. For example, the lack of continuity can be related to 'The Ring tape', with its montage editing. Also the hand held camera shots link back to 'The Blair Witch Project.' I believe my film would be seen as a 'serialist' film, due to its' disequilibrium beginning. Another film that links to my opening is 'The Orphan', this has a disequilibrium opening, through the use of a dream, just like my film does. This definatly left me confused when I watched 'The Orphan' and rather spooked. I am hoping to create the same effect with the opening of my film.
I have chosen to shoot the opening in black and white, due to the fact that I did some research on dreams and found out this little story:
'Everyone dreams in black and white occasionally and they are in fact psychic dreams. Many people may not remember these dreams and most of them become reality and more like deja-vu.'
This is why I chose to film in black and white as the dream which features in the opening of my film does become reality towards the end of my film.
Whilst experimenting and editing my film, I did not realise that my film suddenly became a series of montage editing, random shots quickly edited together. Eisenstein and Hitchcock, two horror/thriller directors tended to use a series of unjustified cuts. Using montage editing creates a lack of continuity which tends to happen when a person dreams.
