Opening Sequence Analysis

The Opening sequence of Scream 1 (approximately 12 minutes):

I did an opening scene analysis of scream 1, the picture I have put up of it isn't very focused or the right way around so I've decided to re-type some of the analysis:-

-The Establishing shot is of the house phone ringing. the flowery patterns and tidiness indicates that a female lives here.
-A young woman (Casey) answers the phone, she has very neat blonde hair telling us she is confident, innocent, and precise. she also seems to be very relaxed in her own home which is comforting for the audience.
-When Casey starts to fiddle with a knife- this is ironic because she seems relaxed here but this is how she is killed in just a few minutes time. this is also ironic because she begins to talk jokingly about horror films with the stranger on the phone he asks her about them and what she likes- this builds suspense for the audience because this is a horror they are watching, it's also slightly disturbing that she is comfortable talking about horror films and flirting with a stranger.

Stranger: "You never told me your name"
Casey: "Why do you wanna know my name?"
Stranger: "because I wanna know who I'm looking at." 

-reaction shot of Casey. and a sudden realisation about what she's been talking about. she seems worried, disturbed, and frightened. this starts to panic the audience- they knew something wasn't right from the start. after this we see a cut away of Casey locking the doors- this is an enigma code to the audience about how worried she is. Casey has been lead into a false sense of security, as have the audience.
-When the killer finally shows in his mask, and is chasing Casey around the house, there is a shot I really like where you can see Casey scream and the reflection of the killers mask on her face. her reaction mirrors the scary screaming white mask the killer wears, and also links to the title of the film 'SCREAM'
-The audience is frightened by the killer because they find him clever, he immediately catches up with her and cuts and stabs at her throat so she is unable to scream for help, contrasting the film title.
-The audience is always kept on the edge of their seat in this opening sequence:
   - Casey fights back.
   - The killer chases her around a lot.
   -rise and fall of suspense
   -Casey's parents arrive giving the audience false hope.
   - her parents fail to hear her when she is only a few feet behind them because of where her wounds are.

-Casey's parents eventually find her hanging dead in a tree by a swing. the swing represents innocence and children.

I really like this opening sequence because of the false sense of security and hope the audience receive, it keeps them involved in the movie.
