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.

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...

 To begin the full group filming process everyone met up at Dania Pointe as planned. I coordinated schedules and times to accommodate everyone. Over the weekend on Saturday we all showed up at 11:00am. For today I decided to work on the second scene. The second scene consists of a split screen of the varying perspective of one side eating alone and one side eating with friends. So to set up I first had to find 2 separate areas of Dania Pointe to film. I walked around for about an hour scouting out filming locations. The first place I saw was a long strip of fake grass with a lot of tables around. I thought it would be a good place because it had a nice environment and background. The next area I found was shadowed and isolated. I thought that it would be a good idea to have our solo actor film there. I then walked around and found a couple of other spots but ultimately decided on the first two I found. After this I brought in the actors for the group scene. They all went and got ic...
