Group Progress - What Makes Our Opening Unique?

As our opening is set in a school we needed to make it look creepy to show that we did not pick the easiest location to film and we put the effort into making the corridors dark and making it match our genre. This makes our sequence different as we waited for everyone to leave and turned the media room dark and creepy by putting static on the computer

Something notable about our character is that she doesn't talk. Although we will have a voice-over the character is never seen speaking in our sequence. She screams, gasps and mutters the words "Stop!" she never says anything more than one word. I think this makes our character more enigmatic as all the audience will know about her is what the voice-over tells them throughout the opening and most characters in other people's sequences have at least one line.

 
 
Many other media students use the theme of a stalker we wanted to make ours different by making the stalker keep disappearing and will only attack when provoked rather than killing randomly. We want our genre to stand out amongst the other horror opening sequences as a psychological horror. We have not seen another psychological horror so we think this could set us apart from the other sequences in our class.
