Pitch

I pitched an idea to my group about how I wanted the opening scene to look. I suggested a horror theme, and I wanted us to use a scene which involves a shaky camera, as if it was a home video, with a family having a picnic. I would then want something more sinister to happen after the video has played for a bit, so it sets the tone for the rest of the film. I took this idea from the film Sinister, as I feel that this is effective, and it makes the film seem more realistic.
