Movie Title

The background is dark blue to create a vibe of mystery. And the title is shining to get more attention and to show that the superhero is the bright shining out of a dark background (which could be referring to the evil and unknown like the villains).

Main Cast

The background of these 3 characters is the same colour (black which helps understand that the these characters are part of the same side (in this case the good side).
They are also only one name per shot because they are part of the main cast and this helps emphasise the relevance of the characters.

The reason for the red to be added as the name of James Franco comes up foreshadows the fact that he is going to be related with the evil theme, which in this case is his dad and later on in the third movie ends up being consumed by his evil thoughts and he turns into the real villain.

Supportive Cast

Opposite to what i said about the characters that are part of the main cast, the supportive cast characters are not as relevant to the plot so they get to share shots, which takes relevance away from them.

Establishing shot

This vivid mixture of colourful buildings and transports give the movie an instant comedic/happy vibe and doesn't make the audience feel tension about what is about to happen.

Tracking Shot

The sudden hand coming out of nowhere and hitting the window tries to sort of wake the audience up for an exciting scene in which Peter is running to try to catch the bus.

Story Development



The story development shot shows the audience the first bit of concrete story telling that they are going to see in which they are focusing on Mary Jane's face as well as having the class in the background with the teacher explaining what is going to follow up.
