In this opening sequence there are several techniques used to create an effect on the audience. The scene is set by the tense music which goes from low to high. the music gets louder as they discover the gory looking body which appears dead. As the eerie and tense music heightens the camera focuses on zoomed shots of the mangled body to highlight to the audience what the focus of the tension is. there are also several pans shots to show the whole setting and environment. This makes the audience feel more like they are part of the scene.

The lighting in the opening scene also creates a sense of tension and suspense as it is essentially pitch black dark. The only light present is the flashlights being used by those investigating. This means the lighting in minimal and therefore keeps the audience wondering what else could be lurking in the dark. The use of the flashlight allows the characters to highlight certain points and create a focus for the audience rather than them analysing the whole scene.
