Horror Opening sequence

IT(2017)

To create veridmilitude, continuity editing is applied at the beginning of the opening scene. The rainy weather built up the dark and horror atmosphere. In addition, the yellow boat is one of the important connotation in the film, so there is action match to show that the boy puts the boat on the water, and there are chasing shoots to show the movement of the boat. The genre set up  as horror film, because the terrible weather at the beginning, more than that is the horror character exist(clown) that his make up and face expression also the way he speaks, laugh is terrifying and creepy. The two background music on the beginning and when the boy meet the clown separated into two  different genre, the similarity of those two are they are 'children's music'(bright, fast rhyme). When he meets the clown, the music become creepy and only single tone.

Overall, the opening sequence is absolutely scary that make me feel interested curious.
