Xiangyu and I have decided that regarding the factor of our script, the amount of speech that we include in the opening of our film will be minimal as we feel it would take away the sense of tension and surrealism in the opening. We felt that finding out a background on the characters through the use of dialogue was unnecessary and that the plot was self-explanatory to an extent.
In addition, we didn't want to use a lot of speech due to the fact that our film is of the mystery/thriller genre and so therefore giving away too much information to the audience would take away the mystery behind the plot and the location.
We have already discussed the idea that we want our film to be a film which effects our audience mentally rather than make them jump. This is why we decided to not lots of props that are traditionally used in horror films such as fake blood, knives etc. We intend for our film opening to not be too revealing but to have suspense, and we think that having a reduced amount of speech will help us achieve this aim.
