•  This sequence from Friday the 13th links in to the idea for my own opening sequence. One main reason is the location is exactly the same, as we expect to have our film set in a woodland area.
• As well as this it features a female protagonist who becomes the victim to the antagonist, which is also a similar circumstance that is likely to feature in the opening of our film.
• We also see some props feature that we would also like to include, the main one being the long knife/sword that the antagonist carries in his hand
• There is also some very effective sound in this extract that would be expected to be included in our film. For example the diegetic sound of the girl screaming as she is taken victim to the antagonist.
