I was already aware of the different types of narrative structure which was extremely helpful in making the decision as to which narrative type I would pick. This was a major factor in the process of analysing the chronology of our film opening; using flashbacks, speaking of the past, showing the clear passing of time. As for the genre, I did a lot of research before production on the codes and conventions of the horror genre. Due to my pre production research, I was able to integrate these within my film opening. The genre theories of the horror genre are dull with a dark colour scheme creating a spooky look , I created this by the dark surrounding and by filming this in the night time.
