A Synopsis of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Driving through the backwoods of Texas,on their way to a Lynard Skynard concert in Dallas five teenagers pick up a traumatized hitchhiker,who then shoots herself with a gun at the back of their van. Looking for the local authorities, the group travels through the town, meeting the locals. One by one, they are picked off by a strange man with a demented face. Realizing that they are in mortal danger, they must escape from the town from a family of cannibals and a chainsaw wielding mad man.
This remake of the Texas chainsaw Massacre, relates to our opening sequence in a number of ways one of which is that is is a well known teen horror that involves them escaping from a man. However in our opening sequence the teenagers will be escaping the "killer disease" that is being spread around. Although the plots may be slightly different there are many similarities between them as in both scenario's it seems there is no way out and they have to fight the impossible in order to survive what lies ahead of them. In addition to this in the trailer it has, digetic music such as a heartbeat and uses flash's of light that look like pictures, this holds the image in the audiences mind whilst absorbing the the film. We could use this in our opening sequence as it is based on cctv camera, devices such as ipods, mobiles and dv cameras. So it could connate the fact that something is going to happen.
