Questionnaire For A Horror Opening

Sequence

For my AS media, I have been given the task to produce an independent opening sequence

for my chosen genre. The genre I have chosen is Horror with the subgenre being

!sycho"ogica". I have a"ready made some initia" decisions regarding cinematography and

narrative. The p"ot wi"" inc"ude a ma"e protagonist who has been e#periencing menta" hea"th

issues since his chi"dhood as certain events of his past have traumatised him. However, I

have some decisions which obtain two directions$options in which I need he"p deciding

between the two. I wou"d be gratefu" if you cou"d fi"" in this questionnaire with your honest

opinions as your answers$decisions cou"d effect and determine the fina" outcome of my

opening sequence. !"ease bare in mind that I on"y have a "owbudget so do not suggest

anything too difficu"t and e#pensive to incorporate in my opening sequence. Thank you for

your time.
