Shrooms opening scene , camera shots and synopsis
The film opens with a woman running through the woods , as this happens the camera is following her on a track.After this it shows an extreme close up of a bucket of blood that has been spilt.Then it cuts back to the woman running showing a close up of her feet following by a pan following her as she runs.The film then continues to flick through close ups of disturbing pictures such as maggots , knives , a blood covered hand and a bag covering a persons head. At the opening and closing part of the scene their are some titles , the titles are a basic white bold font on a black background, despite being very basic the titles are very striking due to the contrast of the white on black . The opening scene also has elements of torture , this could lead to an 18 certificate.The woman that is running is wearing casual clothes ; jeans , shirt and a jacket.Other mysterious characters shown as the film is cutting from scene to scene are all wearing a dark , Gothic and more horrific clothing . As she runs it gives the impression that she is running from something as you see the fear on her face. The setting is in a woods round autumn time as the leaves have fallen. There is an immediate impression that the film will be in the horror genre this is because it is set at night , there continues greys, blacks , greens and whites , this adds to the spooky feel as their is no colour. A large building is shown at the beginning , it looks like an old abandoned mental hospital . As this is the first thing shown it may be used continuously through the film as the scene is usually established at the beginning. although Shrooms is similar to our film it has a certificate of 18 , his is due to bloody violence. The film was also distributed by Vertigo Films (UK) , these could be a possible company to distribute our film.Shrooms didn't make much impact at the UK box office grossing a mere £300,000. The film may have been unsuccessful because of its low budget and lack of well known actors , this could be something to take into consideration when our film is being made.
