This post is all about the screenshots of our best pieces of editing and filming. Starting at the start going through to the end.
The only time we see a weapon in the opening sequence, you don't see the figure which creates a sense of mystery.
In this close-up, we see the figure pulling up his hood, this is coupled with the credits that blur and then focus on the character which allows us to focus on the credit and then the figure pulling up his hood. It also gives a sense as if he is looking in a mirror when he does this.
In this long shot, we see the house of the girl as she's walking out. The hooded figure leans against a lamp-post, but she fails to notice him. The audience now can guess what he is about to do.
As the girl begins to walk down the path, the hooded figure begins to follow her. It is a long shot which extends to the end of the road, it is used for the purposes of beginning the chase.
This medium shot, along with the pulling up of the hood, is one of our ultimate best shots. The girl in our piece walks accross the screen as the titles begin to show when she reaches the end and when the hooded figure begins to walk accross the screen, they disappear.
The close-ups of the girls are used to set-up the rest of the movie, they are there to make the hooded look like a serial-killer, which he is.
This dragging part is particularly good as she seems lifeless. The audience know she is dead, eventhough we didn't show her being killed. They know this beacuse they heard a scream and then saw him dragging her with a blood stain near to her chest and she drops to the floor and he runs away.
After he has run away, the camera zooms-in to her corpse.
He then pins up her picture and the camera zooms-in to it, showing that she has been "hunted, leaving the audience wondering "what will happen next?" which is obviously our desired intention.
