A Short Analysis of 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' Opening Sequence

A Short Analysis of 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' Opening Sequence 

The opening scene show a old barbed wire fence and a mist background. The title of the film then appears in between the fence. The background music sounds like a child's music box which adds enigma codes to the scene. It then shows a shot of a corn field and other crops to set the scene that it is in a farm. Then it shows an establishing shot of the farm house. It uses monochromatic colour's such as grey and black to create an atmosphere. It then shows a medium close up of a man knocking on the farm houses door, this creates enigma codes like 'why is he there'. The man then walks away from the house and looks around at his surroundings. It then show animals moving away from the house and it also shows a barn in the back ground. It then goes into a close up of a bee hive in the comer of the house, which will create enigma codes. Then the final scene shows that there is someone looking at him through the upstairs window they use a match-on-action shot to show the man looking at the person in the window. All through this scene they only use non-diegetic sound. 

I have chosen this for my research because it has a good use of monochromatic colour's that create tension and enigma codes.
