Key Features of our Film

Key features of our film are:

Character

• Stereotypical character (Jack played as a typical 12 year old school boy, who has dicscovered something within his picture)
• Stereotypical mentor character ( Harry plays a more confident, higher status character who enters with power and authority. He confuses the audience in the opening sequence by only saying one line, which keeps the audience guessing to what part he plays in the film. But in later sequences we discover he is a mentor character)

Setting

• The opening sequence is filmed in a mysterious school in an arts and crafts class, where the main character draws a picture of the schools woods, and begins to dream he's view of the dark, mysterious setting in front of him. After jack enters his dream he finds himself sitting on his chair on a field, where the woods is close by. As the camera angle changes we begin to see jack walking into the woods, and from there, the rest of the opening sequence is filmed in the woods.
• The first few scenes are filmed in an arts and crafts class, where the teacher is the first character we discover. He is only seen in the filmed sequence inside the classroom, which helps the audience understand that the classroom room is where he works and stays for most of the film.  

Storyline

• The plot of this opening sequence we have designed to be tension building, and suspense like. This resembles to the long walking scenes that jack is in, and helps draw out a suspicious, questionable introduction.
