The genre of the opening is Horror. It doesn't have a title yet, but it will most likely be one or two words, as are many films of the horror genre. I want to show the quickness and the brutality of the disease, and to do this I want to engage the audience and make them feel as though they are in the movie, by using such shots as POV shots, to show the effects (eg drowsiness shown by soft focus POV. The scene (breifly) is as follows:
1) Average person, nothing much happening.
2) He coughs, still innocuous.
3) Symptoms get worse, he starts uncontrollably coughing.
4) Coughs up blood.
5) Vision gets hazy.
6) Vomits blood and falls off chair.
7) Someone else coughs.
8) CREEEEEEEDITS.

Explain
In the film "Frankenstein" the isolated setting of the castle is used to create a number of things. First, and perhaps the most important, it adds fear and a sense of ominousness to the film. This was very fitting to the horror genre, as the suspense and creepiness was built there. It was also used to scare the audience. This was the general reaction among the audience, with this film being referred to as the scariest for it's time. The setting is used for much of the film, including the scene in which Frankenstein creates the monster, and also it is where Fritz is killed.
In "Psycho", the isolated setting of the hotel is used. Although this is not immediately clear, because of Norman Bates' 'normal' persona. The uneasiness for the viewer is built slowly throughout the film, with Norman's interest in taxidermy perhaps setting off the first alarms. Because of the apparent normality behind the motel, it came as quite a shock to the audience that Marian Crane was killed. The idea of being isolated doesn't just apply to the setting of the motel. At the start of the film, Marian is isolated when she takes the money and is running away from the cop and her previous life. We also see this isolation during perhaps the most iconic momenst form the film, the shower scene. Marian is completely alone, void of all company, when Norman/Mother attacks and kills her with the knife.

Describe
In the movie, Frankenstein, most of the action in the movie is taken place in the Castle of Frankenstein, up on the hill. This isolated setting is exaggerated by the director by using shots such as long shots, showing the alone nature of the building. This, along with the darkness of the sky gives the viewer a very ominous feeling, as though something bad will happen. This is similar in the movie Psycho. In this movie the isolated setting of the motel, which is off the main road considerably and the characters even reference how far away it is from any other facility in their dialogue.This is done to show th isolation, and infer that if anything was to happen, that no-one would be around to do anything about it.
