Thriller/horror

Our group has decided to go with the thriller/horror genre. We decided this after watching videos such as scream and nightmare on elm street.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgKukhIw5eY.In this opening of scream we really liked how the camera follows her around the house from the living room to the kitchen showing whats happening in the house. Once the blonde female gets to the kitchen the camera starts to film her starting to make pop corn as a man continue to calls her. As the temper between the voice on the phone and the female start to heat up the popcorn also begins to get heated to its full volume and begins to whistle uncontrollably. In this horror film the directer uses symbolism to show emotion and help connect the human emotions to actions around us. During the opening of nightmare on elm street the movie stars off with a person  in a factory doing something with a bunch of tools. The next cut shoes a girl confused and scared wondering around the factory as the scene progresses the girl is being chased by something with metal fingers. All of the sudden the creepy background noise turns into a baby crying and the girl wakes up from her dream with 4 rips in her sleep shirt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn_DjzN8410.In both these horror/thriller film openings the directer starts off the film by setting off the story with suspense right away. They want the viewer to get intrigued and hooked from the beginning.
