The opening scene for the film sinister start with a video of four bodies hanging from a tree. As a viewer we are unsure of who these characters are because they have bags over their heads covering their faces. By opening the film with this scene it instantly shock the viewer and makes them want to find out more more.
Camera work
The whole scene is one long take where the camera does not move. The opening has very little editing gone into it, this is done on purposes to make the shot seem as if it is a home made video.Sound
There is very little sound during the first few minutes of sinister the only sound that you are able to here is the sound of cine camera. this gives off a crackling noise which gives it a old and vintage feel to the video being shot. By having very little sound it enables the viewer to keep their concentration on the screen instead of the sound.
