Movie opening- Max Mazur

Monster House - PG

   Monster House is a 2006 film directed by Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg. It is about a house which comes to life and eats people and is surprisingly scary for a PG film
   It's opening sequence involves a small girl on a tricycle getting stuck on the lawn of the house and the angry old man who owns it storming out, scaring her away and breaking her trike. This is unusual for a PG opening, as PG films normally have a positive shot after a scary or sad moment.
    The film is a horror/comedy, the genre we are using for our film, so we can use elements of it for our film. One thing which struck me was the manner in which the man emerges from the house: the door slowly opens and his face melts in from the shadows. I thought this was a really good way of making the audience instantly dislike him. We could possibly use something like this for our film.
