jeepers creepers opening analysis

During the opening of jeeper creepers there is a wide range of indicators that help show that the movie is a horror film such as: the location the place seems to be in very unpopulated areas in the country sides and this links to the stereotypical location, the annoying teenagers that are usually in the film this is stereotypical characters and the sound with the use of sound if gave a creepy vibe.
From this opening there are many questions to be asked by the audience such as: who is the person driving the truck? What is he doing? What did he chuck in the pipe? Where are they? Why is he chasing them?
With the use of soundtrack and diegetic sound there is a lot created from it such as: during the chase scene the music creates more of a fast vibe to the film as they do haft to rush to try and get away and at the start when they first see the man the music is gives the uncomfortable feel due to the high notes and lastly the sound of the car chasings gives a rush to the movie.
In this opening we find out a lot about their location and who lives there also how dangerous it is for them. We find out there is a mysterious man disposing of dead bodies in the pipes but also we find out that these two main characters seems to be out main characters due to the amount of camera time they had.

In the opening there was many shots that stood out such as there was many long shots of the man’s house and long shots of his truck as well as long shots of him deposing g of something to be believed as a body, there was a lot of close ups to show the emotions of the two characters and lastly there was a lot of over the shoulder shots to show the truck chasing them.
