Film openings that represent genre

Some film openings that represent the genre which I'm using for my film opening which is horror are based on the comparison based in peace and terror at the same time. This creates a feeling in the audience which only induces terror, since from an all rainbows and happiness world then comes all the massacre and tragic events creating a great impact on the audience.

Some film openings that represent the horror genre successfully are "Dawn of the dead" (2004) which starts with a couple having a great time in bed but then suddenly their child becomes a zombie and attacks them viciously. My favorite film opening and where the technique I consider it's the most perfect is the first "Jaws" opening. It starts with two teenagers playing around on the beach and then the girl gets viciously attacked by a monster which we don't see (2+2 not the 4) while the guy is sleeping right there in the beach, perfectly completing the contrast with peace and terror.

I intend to combine and contrast peace with crisis effecting which will result on impacting the audience in a way which not only will leave them with wanting more of such content but also impacting them with terror.
