Research - Opening - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974


As part of our opening clip we decided to use a series of images to create a flashback / insight into the events of the little girl, as inspiration we have looked at The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) which you can see in the link below, we have focused on the time 1.35-2.30 in which there is a series of images shown through the prospective of a camera, the flash reveals different parts of the body and as they increase the detail of the image becomes clearer revealing the body to the audience we thought this was done very effectively


Out of the clip this was our favourite series of images:


We liked this especially as it was a quick reveal from darkness to the photo of the hand, we liked how it was only showed a section of the hand , as it is dark the flash lights creates the impression that the hand is red and is reminiscent of blood and danger. After watching this we liked the idea of the reveal of different elements using a series of close ups and fade to blacks but we didn't feel that the idea of using a camera worked well as it didn't really fit in with the idea of our storyline.
