scream oppening scene

in the 1996 horror film scream the producer sets the opening scene in a house.this makes the audience feel as if this scenario is possible in there life because most people live in houses.the producer also uses the phone as a prop that the cereal killer uses to contact the women because a lot of people use the phone every day and after seeing the film the people will go to pick up the phone and remember the film and be scared.the producer does this to make people remember the film every time they go to do repetetive tasks
the fact that the killer isnt actually shown on camera means that the audience isnt being made to simpathise with him.whereas the women in the house is shown on the camera a lot because the producers are trying to make the audience feel simpathetic towards the women

in this image taken from the scene drew barrymore looks shocked and scared this conforms to the steriotype that women are defenceless and need a man to protect them this scene also conforms to the steriotype that women sit at home and dont really work. in this picture drew barrymore is wherein a light coloured jumper and she has long blonde hair both of these things are seen as feminate things, this makes the audience feel like she is vunrible

the fact that the name of the film is scream shows the audience that it is going to be a scary film because using the title scream suggests that the movie is going to scare the audience and make them scream
