Horror Film Opening Plot

Five boys have just finished their A levels and want to go out partying and have a lads weekend together, they are going to be meeting a load of their other mates up there because they missed the train before. The group are heading up to London and planning to go to as many clubs as they can. The boys train leaves at 10:25pm, but this train gets delayed, is this a sign? When the train arrives, it arrives with the lights off, the lights come on after about 5 seconds of the train being stationary, and then the doors don't open for a short amount of time, which also is another sign but the boys choose to ignore these signs, which is the wrong decision...

Match on action shot, 180 rule, Shot reverse shot.


  • Match on action (or cutting on action) is an editing technique for continuity editing in when one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot.
  • The action carrying through creates a “visual bridge” which draws the viewer’s attention away from slight cutting or continuity issues.
  • The 180° rule is a filming guideline that participants in a scene should have the same left-right relationship to each other, with filming only taking place within the 180° angle in which this is maintained in a conversation.
  • Shot reverse shot is a continuity editing technique used in conversations or simply characters looking at each other or objects.
