Saw 3 Opening Sequence

A film directed by Darren Lynn unlike many other horror films this has a creative story in which a jigsaw killer plays a game with the victims the reason being is that they dont appreciate their lifestyle. It is no doubt a strange reason but one that may leave enigmas and engages the audiences attention. The target audience for this film would be adults over the age og eighteen as blood, pain and enigmas appeals highly to them .
The film uses the general conventions you would expect in a horror film the intense sounds and the creepy music that develop suspense engaging the audiences interest as they wonder what is going to happen next. The music in the film is non- diagetic at the beginning it is very quiet then the pitch gets higher. It is mainly people screaming and intense sounds however this works well with the visual image with what is happening in the film.
The editing techniques are used very effectively they do two things they have an impact on the audience as well as creating suspense. The lighting used in the film follows the usual genre conventions of a thriller. In one point of the film the character is holding a torch which makes it look like he is lighting the room himself .This has an impact on the audience as they believe they are in the room with him.
A lot of the usual conventions are used throughout the movie blood,chains ,saws and dead bodies.It may be the standard conventions but when they are added to lighting and are edited they create a huge impact as they are much more terrifying and scary.
