Analysing Carrie (1976) - Opening Scene

Music and editing are important in the opening scene for 'Carrie' for example at the start, the music is peaceful and mellow and this fits perfectly with the young girls in the shower room as it contrasts with what is in store for them later on in the film. We get the sense that the film is a teen movie due to it's typical setting (locker room) and the way the camera pans slowly which captures the girl's getting changed. There are some horror elements featured in this opening scene for example when Carrie realises she is bleeding (natural) but it suddenly turns into a horror due to a lot of shock.
