The document discusses aspects of film openings that a high school real media text class analyzed. It examines scenes and techniques from movies like Midnight Cowboy, What Lies Beneath, The Amityville Horror, Mirrors, Orphan, Child's Play, and Drag Me to Hell. Key elements the class incorporated into their own opening included a dramatic flashback shown through an edit dissolve, a character dying by drowning, and setting it in a home, which are common in thriller movies. They also used a doll prop and costumes inspired by other films.
