Black Christmas Opening

The most noticeable thing about the opening sequence of this film is that during the scrolling of the title credits there is a still shot of a house (the credits scroll for about a minute). This gives the audience an idea that the key location in the film will be the house.The features of the house are barely visible in the dark lighting. After the title's are done, there is a Point of view shot moving towards the entrance of the house( the shot is shakey ), it feels like the camera is handheld.There is then another pov shot of someone climbing through a window. This creates more tension and thrill for the audience.

The lighting is very dark.

The music is quite mellow and is synchronised with the scrolling of the title credits, this builds up tension as the audience is Edgar to see if anything is going to happen.
