A History of Violence

Today we was introduced to a 5 minute opening clip of a horror film. In the opening scene of this film it was very dull and boring as there wasn't anything remotely going on for the first 3 - 4 minutes. Through out the whole clip the director wanted to build suspense and the director did this by making the characters very suspicious around each other. The director also made the scene suspicious as you didn't know what the two character was up to and the only clues they gave was 'you took long' and 'the maid was effort'. Then the at the end of the clip it starts to get more exciting as it looks like a young and gentle man going in the shop to see what has happened, the the man goes a refills his bottle with water, and a girl comes out, showing different actions of fear. Then the audience thinks the man is going to care for her, but he changes his action and shots the little child, which then makes it more exciting and makes you want to watch the rest of the film.
