Casting We chose Polly Denny as a group to our actress, as she sticks to the horror conventions as she is fairly plain and basic. Alot of the females within horror films have long dark hair, which was another reason as to why we chose her. The darkness of her hair helps to represnt the darkness with our opening sequence. She fits within the age group that we have aimed our opening sequence to. She has an approachable face, looks nice, so people are able to sympathise with her, despite her being made out to be the villain.

We found our sound track for our piece on the YouTube creator area. I was quite hard to find a piece that not only matched the genre but also matched the pace. I think the soundtrack we chose works really well with our piece as helps add to the overall effect but doesn't detract from the visual imagery. We used a piece of music called ‘Sea of Doom’, we chose this piece as builds and descends in the correct place, making the piece more tense, which sticks to the conventions of the horror genre.

The surrounding trees help to represent an eclosed environment creating more tension and its an ideal mise-en-scene for our sequence. The cellar is dark and spooky which we'll be using for our flashblacks.
