What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 
For the first half of the opening sequence the camera focuses in on the head of a woman as she is cuddling with her husband/boyfriend. This introduces the audience to a character that will presumably be important later on. In the second half, the images shown are from around the town of North Carthage, showing the setting of the film. 

How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the opening sequence? 
Throughout the opening sequence there is uneasy background music found commonly in the genre of thriller. This is then combined with a quick and disturbing voice over from the main character as the camera is focusing on the girl. Both of these added together with low, early morning lighting, and visuals of an empty town create a suspenseful feeling for the audience early on.

Our first question today is; how does Cold Case engage with audiences.   The foundation of "Cold Case's" engagement lies in its ability to forge a deep, emotional connection with its audience. This connection is c reated through the film's focus on five friends exploring an abandoned ice rink, a premise that is both relatable and builds a potential for tension and horror. By choosing characters that viewers can see reflections of themselves in, the film allows you to put yourself into the situation of the characters . The horror and suspense are n’t just limit ed to the screen; they resonate on a personal level, tapping into the universal fear of the unknown.   Moreover, the found footage style of "Cold Case" serves as a powerful tool for imme
