Analysis

first 10 mins
second 10 mins

The first title is the production company DDLC which zooms out from the lion on the logo. After that it goes straight into the film with very gentle music playing in the background and sounds of nature and two children, setting a light mystical mood (which is contrasting to the genre). At the beggining the shots of the forest and stream fade into eachother only lasting a few seconds each (the first shot is a spider in a web which I think is a metaphor for the film). The title 'Hannibal Rising' fades onto the screen, on top of two background pictures of the forest and lasts about 10 seconds.
Most shots at the beggining go straight from one to another, they're quite smooth and use sound bridges.
From the first fifteen minutes of the film it isn't fully obvious what genre the film is, it could be a war or sad film, the main clue that it is a horror is when one of the gang members insinuates that they may have to eat one of the children.
You don't see any of the typical characteristics or iconography for a horror film in the first fifteen minutes.
From watching the firslt fifteen minutes of the film you would assume, like our film, it would be a 15 as there aren't any sexual scenes, there isn't much swearing however there are some scenes of mild violence and it insinuates that things may get worse.
