The title of this clip or film shows intertextual references to the film Scream by Wes Craven in 1996. Also the music at the start shows slow and long drawn out fast notes which creates and the xylophone shows to be child's to to mess with psychology and effects of the brain. Long drawn out notes at the start of scene.and the opening shot connotes someone hiding in the branches or bushes and it gives you the option to put a hand in to move the branch out of the way as a sort of point of view shot. False scare is nice and early in this slasher film which is good to put in at the start and also intertextuality to the omen with the boys name of Damien. Use of a simple of an ellipsis to fade out and fade back in. Dialogue is key for exposition which provides information to the audience of whats on screen. Female and male gaze audience is key.

The Title of this is good cause of it over a black background with the now scene. The opening shot shows the first character is going to die due to the bottle of booze in his hand signifying your dead. shaking camera for a point of view shot which suggests he is drunk.in the bushes effect is a nicely framed scene. However the violence is not on the screen. then the music comes in and shows the effects well and the blood effect on the snow works well. And shows a good example of narrative enigma. And the narrative enigma which doesn't suggest what sex the main character is. An editing effect of the CCTV is good to show a different type of scene.

This film shows good care taken with the titles and how they come across. It lacks the diagetic sound in the opening point of view scenes. Verisimilitude is achieving realism and there is a lack of this in the opening of this film.
