Opening sequence of "Halloween"

There is very little sound in this opening sequence which adds to the sense of fear already being created by the camera work. The camera is very effective as it puts us in the point of view of the killer and gives a sense of somebody watching; this makes the audience feel quite scared and weary as we dont know what is about to happen next, also the sound adds to the tension as we expect there to be a big bang or something to happen, so the quietness causes us to feel edgy. However we start to hear a very faint piano in the backround which suggests that something is wrong and something is going to happen. Also to add to the audience being in the intruders position the mask that tge intruder puts on blocks our vision of the scence which adds even mnore to the sense of being suspicioius as we cant see the whole frame. There is also a close up of the knife which shows the audience its significance and it causes them to think of thigns that might happenn this causes the audience to be thinking all the way through of what might happen and what he intruder might be like, we are totally shocked when we see that it is a child and this makes us want to watch more to find out what happens.
