There were many things that inspired us for our opening, in particular these 2 clips,
The first is from the French film 'Them' which is actually a horror film, but the beginning scene creates a multitude of tension as well as setting the scene for the entire film, which is what a good opening should do. Their use of the forest and twilight filming was also interesting.

Another very influential clip was the beginning of the US TV series 'The Killing'. It is also set in the woods, and the interesting use of the torch light really appealed to us. The vulnerabilty of the girl was something we wanted to expand on, as it is commonly known that the female is usually the victim.
