Silence of the Lambs:
Silence of the Lambs is about the daughter of Tennessee Senator Ruth Martin, is kidnapped by a serial killer psychopath known only as Buffalo Bill, this man is kidnapping and murdering young woman from all across the Midwest- likewise to my idea.  F.B.I. agent-in-training Clarice Starling is called upon to interact with psychopathic, cannibalistic killer psychiatrist Doctor Hannibal Lecter who may have insights into the identity of Buffalo Bill, she does this by interviewing a demented prisoner who may provide psychological insight and clues to the killer's actions.

The Kidnapping:

I feel the film 'Silence of the Lambs' is similar to my idea, firstly by the use of the kidnappers car, this is as it shows she is being kidnapped, as well as showing her being dragged into the car- this is just like my idea. Additionally, we see her being taken by an older man who has been previously spying on her from the outside watching her. Another similarity is the non- diegetic music that starts to build up and create tension as the scene progress, this tells us it is sinister and creepy, this is similar to my opening sequence as that is similar as to what my group and I have planed to partake throughout our opening sequence. It is also alarming, as it warns the audience that something not so good is about to happen, this is the same reaction we want to have on our audience. 


Shown below is a clip taken from the film to show how it is similar to my opening sequence:

Kiss the girls:

Kiss the Girls consists of a main plot which involves the parallel trails of action of two kidnappers, one in North Carolina and one in California. Both are collectors, responsible for the disappearances of numerous women- this is similar to our opening sequence due to the fact that ours also consists of numerous woman being taken. A few are actually killed. The rest are held in long-term captivity for the kidnappers pleasure. This is comparable to my opening sequence, as the kidnapper likewise gets pleasure out of kidnapping these teenage girls. Furthermore,  the kidnapper tracks his targets for months before kidnapping them, this is alike to my opening sequence; as part of the back round story to my sequence, he has also been watching the teenagers he kidnaps for weeks before doing so. He leaves no trace except the bodies when they dare to escape, this is relatable to mine. 

Along came a spider:

Along came a spider consists of a girl who is kidnapped from a school by one of the teachers. She turns out to be the daughter of a senator, and the kidnapper soon makes a call to a police officer whose partner died eight months ago, involving him in the kidnapping. One of the secret service people that failed to protect the girl at the school decides to help him. But not everything is what is seems, and many surprising twists follows as the two attempt to catch the' spider. As the scene commences, we see the teacher hiding the teenage school girl and putting her into his car. This is similar to my opening sequence as mine likewise consists of a girl being placed into a car and taken away.  It additionally makes the audience feel more intrigued as to what will happen next. This is the same type of captivating and stimulating feel that we want our opening sequence to have on our audience.
