3rd film opening analysis
Now i will analyse Captain america: civil war.
This is the last film opening i will be analysing.
This film starts with the avengers team fighting terrorism in Lagos, Nigeria. And how this is a superhero film, it's going to have a hybrid genre between action and science fiction. However, the very begininng shows us the classic marvel intro which his really characteristic in marvel movies.
The first shot shows how the terrorists break in the laboratory in which they are trying to steal a biological weapon. And they make their way in with a really heavy garbage truck. But we also get to see the main heros analysing the situation with some really advanced gadget. These gadgets show how the sci fi is applied as we don't have anything similar to them in real life.
The location is revealed at the very beginning of the movie because they place the name of the city they are in in big white letters with the city in the background (i couldn't find footage of this).
The characters are presented in the exact same way as they were presented in the first movie i analysed, they are omnipotent over their enemies who are just ordinary human terrorists.
This fits perfectly with the genre because the intention of science fiction is to present us with unbelievable story lines and characters such as superheros. This is also a really big stereotype in superhero movies.
The pacing is always changing between fast and slow due to the change in intensity and due to the different shots that need to be portrayed depending on the action taking place.
How i mentioned earlier, the only text that we are shown is the big white letters revealing that they are in Lagos, Nigeria and i'm afraid i couldn't find any footage of it. This text doesn't really have a secondary purpose apart from informing the audience where these characters are.
There is fast cuts being used during the action scenes in which we see the heroes fighting and when the pace is fast too. There is certain props and actions which require CGI, such as any magic hand movements that Scarlet witch does, captain america's shield, hawkeye's arrows, falcon's wings, etc.
There is also a classical music soundtrack in the background which helps pace the scene with it's speed and intensity changes.
