Scream - Opening sequence

Here is the full 12.26 of the opening to Scream

It should be watched in comparison to the opening to Halloween, which will be uploaded later.

I want you to note the mise-en-scene (setting , loaction, lighting, props, costume and character placement), together with the use of cinematography (camera angles, movement, positioning), editing and sound (dialogue, music and effects). What links can you spot to Halloween and other slasher/horror films?

Why is the character of Casey (and the actress, Drew Barrymore), important to the audience and the narrative?
