This previous students film opening caught my eye due to its simplicity yet effective feel.
Firstly, the sound being used was very eerie and intense, the harsh violin tones over a softer synth was extremely effective as it kept you alert and connoted a sense of danger and sudden horror. Also, the difference in sound as the title of the film came up really focused your attention on it. The only actual sound apart from the music that you hear is the tapping on the glass, this highlights that what they person is doing is important.
Secondly, mise en scene is the most important here because you get glimpses of red paint that connotes danger and blood and then shots of a paintbrush and a persons expression, this is good as it tells you little about the story and creates enigmas making you want to watch more. Editing and camerawork were vital as the pan's of the artwork allowed you to scope the room and see what's going on but not give away anything too important also the match cuts from the water to the paintbrush paining were effective because it shows the action and makes you feel like you're there watching them.
