Pick a key character from your opening. Take a screengrab of a reasonable sized image of them. Think of one or more characters from other films with some similarity to them (but maybe some differences too!), find an image on the web of that/those characters and grab it as well. Drop the two into photoshop, as a split screen. Export this splitscreen image as a jpeg then drop onto your blog and write about the similarities and differences in terms of appearance, costume, role in film etc.
Our film opening represents a stereotypical character that you would find in a horror movie. And by this we have represented her by showing that she is alone so she is vulnerable and weak.This stereotype is represented in many different genre's such as horrors, romace and often actions.
Similarities
They both have a similar look on their faces. They are showing the emotion of being frightened of something or someone.
They are wearing dark clothes, that are quite plain, which suggests that they arnt that important.
They are female which is common in horrors as females seem to be more vulnerable.
Differences
The picture on the left seems to be wearing more dark clothing as to the picture on the right is wearing a cream coloured jacket.
It also seems that the picture on the left is a more lighter location whereas the location in the right picture is more darker so it's more night time their than the left picture.
Also the character in the top picture on the left is a blonde and they are stereotypically branded to be 'stupid' so therfore they are more easy to pick on.
