Scream 1996- Horror Movie

Scream 'Someone has taken their love of scary movies one step too far. Solving this mystery is going to be murder.
People watch horror movies typically to get scared but Scream directed by Wes Craven does not fail to scare the audience nor does he fail to bore the audience. I have analysed the starting of the movie Scream that falls in the genre horror. It has many mystery scenes that make the audience want to watch it more. Wes Craven constantly playing around with viewer's suspicions and their head.
The editing is done so the audience cannot see, this is called visible editing.
The setting is a family home because you can see the family table, it's got a swing in the back garden and the house is really big for a massive family.
The house is really bright, because every light in the house is on compared to outside because it's dark and the security lights are not switched on.
Characters
The movie consists with some stereotypical characters such as the Casey Becker played by Drew Barrymore. The blond bimbo who talks to the guy on the phone the voice of Roger Jackson who she doesn't know, she has a ten minute conversation whilst making her pop-corn. When she is talking to him, she is unaware who he is, where he is and his intentions. Any other person would put the phone down but Casey carried on making the conversation.
Sound
Sound is a key feature in a horror movie because it build tension and keeps the views occupied. As the start of the movie frightening music is played in the background as the sign Dimension Films gradually comes out from the black background. A few moments later the title appears with a heart beating, an horrifying scream whilst the music still been played. When all this has stopped the phone rings leading into the first scene of the movie.
When the scene changes to outside in the back garden you hear sounds and the swing is moving slowly. This is not because of the wind as the leaves are not moving, this shows the audience that someone unwanted is outside. Maybe someone is close by, is someone in the tree?
You can hear the popcorn boiling and as it gets bigger the audience can tell that it's going to explode. This is another way of informing the audience that when the popcorn is ready the blond woman isn't going to be alive to eat it. The popcorn get bigger and bigger just as the tension is getting bigger.
When the voice on the phone says 'I wanna know who I am looking at' a piano sound is played this a non-diegetic sound. There is more non-diegetic sound this is when she is running around the house locking the door.
Camera Angles And Movement
In the opening scene the house phone rings and the actress Drew answers the phone, there is a close up of the phone and a medium shot of her on the phone. An close up is an awareness for the audience showing that the phone is going to be a key feature in this scene. When she is walking around in the room the technique that is used a lot in the movie this is called Steadicam, it followers her around the house. At one point the camera focused on the outside glass door for a few seconds showing the audience it is dark but she may not be alone and someone outside maybe watching her.

There is an Establishing Shot of her back garden when the change of setting. Revealing to the audience that it's dark and the swing is moving but there is no wind and no one there, this makes the audience aware that someone unwanted is outside.
When she looks outside to see if anyone is around, the camera moves around as if we are looking outside from her view point.
There is a close up to show her emotions when she shouts down the phone, we see her facial expressions.
