My Opening SequenceWhen a Stranger Calls
For this part of my evaluation I am comparing the main character in my film Lily Budd to one of the characters in a film similar to mine "When a Stranger Calls". They are both similar especially in this picture because they are getting stalked by a man who has lost his temper and is frustrated.
Lilys character in my opening sequence is just a normal girl who goes out comes home and is relaxed and chilled. She is the main character in the film because it is based around a girl and a phone and we do not actually ever see the man talking until the end of the opening sequence. You see lily a lot in the film just like the girl in When a stranger calls. They are similar in the way they dress with the costumes being normal up to date trend in the fashion. This is showing that the film is current and still relevant in what can and does happen in real life. I was trying to send a message in my opening sequence that you should be careful who you talk to and who you know because you don't know how dangerous some people can be which is what When a Stranger Calls is trying to say aswell.
The similarities between both girls in the film are that they are both around the same age and they both start of being confident but as soon as trouble comes they start to panic as a young girl would in real life. The appearance of them comes over as they are panicking with a lot of close up screen shots which lets us see a glimpse of their reactions and pulls the audience into the film more feeling like they should do something, it also makes it quite jumpy and one edge.
They story of When a Stranger calls is different but has the same moral because it is about a girl who travels to a house far away to babysit two children whereas mine is about lily coming home from school and being home alone. Then the stories beginning to come similar when the phone starts ringing and the men getting into the house.
Overall I think the two Characters are near enough in the same situation and is a perfect similarity to my Opening Sequence.
