Scream (opening scene)

Scream has a very mystery establishing shot. We've been shown a ringing telephone. Straight away we feel quite uncomfortable because we don't know who our characters are, and where they are (place, area). We associate the sound of ringing phone with friends and happiness, but this sound takes us throughout the film and becomes very uncomfortable.

Later on, Casey is at home which is usually associated with safety, family, comfort and warmth however Casey's house becomes a living hell for her. She is trapped, not safe and alone and has to do exactly what the stranger says.
