A stranger calls is a more modern film. In the opening sequence shows a strong contrast between two moods. We see a happy mood at the fair ground as the children go on the fair rides however a more conscious mood when the mysterious phone call is made to the young girl. This is very effective as the young girl appears very vulnerable. The repeated phone call adds tension and the tone in which the girl talks expresses her vulnerability. The scream of the girl is blended in with the screams from the fair ground which may suggest a link but at this stage the opening sequence reveals very little which makes it more dramatic.
There are no main links to characters in the opening sequence as they are kept anonymous which emphasises the mystery. The involvement of young children helps to contrast the two moods which leads the audeince into a false sence on security.
