Scream Opening Scene
The title screen of the film basically says everything you need to know about the movie, starts off as white normal writing, a phone rings then a woman screams, the writing turns red to symbolize blood, its effective, interesting and says its a gory horror. At the start of the 1st scene behind the girl there is a book shelf full of red books, the symbolical effect of this is blood, death and evil. The main character Cindy is a typical horror girl, a young blond bimbo who is flirty and vulnerable. She walks all over the house when she is on the phone to the killer to show that she is alone in a big house. A bunch of knifes are placed on the table in the kitchen, this stands out a lot, it is one of the first things you see in the shot and as she talks about horrors with the killer she picks up a knife and plays with it, she says her favorite horror is Halloween, Michael Myers is the main character in Halloween and his weapon of choice is a knife and Halloween is a slasher horror so it indicates that scream is a slasher horror too. The killer says to Cindy "I wanna know who i'm looking at" Cindy then becomes freaked out and creepy music starts to play and a dog barks which could mean there is someone outside.
