Narrative Textual Analysis of Openings

1408
Restricted,predictable. 
A horror author investigating a new motel,he seems to not want to talk about his past.
In the next scene we think he would find a real ghost.
set in rural area, no real threat established. Lighting was dark to start but seemed well lit for most.

Rosemary's Baby
Linear. Restricted,did not make us want to watch further.
made sense but seem a take long time to get into it.
bought a old dead woman's apartment,
bad continuity editing,didn't keep to 180 degree rule,all filmed at eye level,not enough variety of shot types,seemed very predictable

Silent Hill
it was linear restricted film. lighting was significant to what was happening at the time. dark=danger light = happiness which shows the two different sides of the little girl. this effected the audience as it made us aware of the different personalities and this made us want to see more.  we dont know what will happen and it adds to the suspense of the film. its set outside mainly and the threat is at silent hill, although the little girl is a threat too.

The omen 
It was a linear film, it was restricted and old fashioned. It does not really make the audience want to watch on, it is set in a city in Rome, the threat is the child and the knowledge of the mum finding out but the audience does not know who the victim is.  Poor variety of camera shots and the usage of lighting was dark and shadowy, it was unpredictable.
