1. What is told to the audience?
During the first 3 minutes of Scream not a lot is told to the audience. The only thing that is clear to the audience is the man voice on the phone is the antagonist. This isn't so clear until he says 'I want to know who I am looking at' after 2 minutes and 23 seconds of the action. When he says this, you know that something is going to happen to the girl but aren't sure whether she is a main character or just an innocent victim.
2.What is conventional?
- There is a clear antagonist (the man on the phone). This is found out after 2 minutes 23 seconds of the opening sequence.
- The titles are conventional as they are white tittles on a black background, and then the titles turn red
- The music gets faster and has more tension in it.
3. What is unconventional?
- Although we find out that the antagonist is the man on the phone, we never actually get to see who the main characters are.
- The title of 'Scream' is very animated and there is some flashing involved.
- Apart from the main tittle of 'Scream', there were no other tittles.
4.How has it inspired me?
It has inspired me, as it showed me that you can introduce your antagonist character without actually introducing him. I also like the way that, half way through the opening section, it stops to show the location of where it is happening.
