This opening starts with opening titles 'screen gems' , as non- digetic sound of soft gentle music is introduced and a new opening title is introduced ' Relativity Media'. and 'temple hill'. When it fades into darkness when a male voice over is introduced on a high angle shot of a soldier wounded on the ground. over the non- digetic sound appears gun shots and battle (digetic sound). high angle shot pans out into a wide shot showing the settings around this soldier as one of his fellow companion helps him up against the wall.

This shot zooms closer the two soldiers and cuts into a close up of a young boy as coins fall apon him in a flash back from a young solider. A panning shot of coins and digetic sound of them falling over the continuing Non-Digetic voice over. As the coins fall down it cuts into another high angle shot. A medium shot of the young boy is then showed helping the audience connect with him.  close up match on action shot is then introduced when someone is holding he coin in there hand. This turns back into a close up of the soldier and his wondered body. Followed by a point of view shot of the soldier looking up into a fellow collogue as he is wounded on the ground.  Another close up on falling coins as his voice over talks about them.

A point of view shot is again put into action to show the soldier coming around from his injury and followed by an long high angle shot of him laying on the ground as it zooms into a close up shot and fades into darkness.  This soldier is given prevence that shows that he will be important in the upcoming event of the film and this keeps the audience watching interested as they  want to see who this person the young soldier is talking about when he said the last thing he thought about.

Costume of my actors in my opening two minutes of Elvira.

This is the costume of Elvira this is designed to stagger the audience after you see Chris's mangled body the camera pans into this show where it simply looks like an average girl. That's what this costume is designed to do. In the bottom picture you can see Character Chris's costume he is wearing a stereotypical outfit of a teenage boy and that's exactly what I wanted, he looks young by what he is wearing and so the setting he is in helps him look vulnerable to the audience watching which is what  I wanted to achieve. 

Actors list.

This is Kieron who plays Chris and killed by Elvira in the opening two minutes..

This is Megan who plays main character and possessed girl Elvira and kills Chris in opeming two minutes.

codes and conventions in my open two minutes of Elvira

Our Villain Was mentally disturbed and possessed by a demand which is a typical convention for a horror film..

Our film was set in the woods alone from everyone again a typical convention of a horror film.

Victim was male that isn't a typical convention of a horror film as I wanted to subvert traditional stereotypes of horror films.

Time management

We spent two days filming in Ashtead woods back in December. We only faced one problem Which was the actors we originally had couldn't make it to film.

We had to change the story line and I had my brother come to help me with my film and he played character Chris. So we drafted another story line that would still work well with our film and that was the final outcome of our film.
