A History of violence

The opening of this film has three murders straight away, I think this is effective as it show the audience what kind of people the two men are as they kill the people very calmly , this shows that they have no remorse. There is very little sound in this opening sequence except from a screeching noise that is continuous until the little girl is killed and there is the ear piercing sound of a girl screaming; i think this makes the murder dramatic as the change in the volume of sound makes the audience jump. I like the opening of this film as it leaves the audience with great enigmas and makes the want to watch on to find out what will happen next and who the next victims are going to be.
