Opening sequence task.
Captain
American: The Winter Soldier.
This is movie is featured Marvel and is directed
by Joe Russo ad Anthony Russo.
The main characters are Chris Even with Captain
America, Scarlett Johansson with Black Window, Sebastian Stan with Winter
Soldier, Anthony Mackie with Falcon and Samuel L. Jackson with Nick Fury.
Captain American: The winter Soldier is the
sequel of the first Captain American.
This movie talks about Steve Rogers, Captain
America lives in the nation’s capital as he tries to adjust to modern times. An
attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague throws Rogger into a web of intrigue that
places the whole world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Window and a new
ally, The Falcon, Rogger struggles expose an ever-widening conspiracy, but he
and his team soon come up against an unexpected enemy, Winter Soldier Rogger’s
best friend that in previous movie seems to dye in the world war one.
As Captain America is an action movie the opening
scene starts with a mission and all the different elements in there for
examples fights, rushing throw time and a clear view of good and bad.
The scene starts in a military plane with some of
the main characters getting ready for action.
This includes Captain America and the Black
Window. The lighting is mostly dark as the mission feature during the middle of
the night. Only once they are in the ship of the enemies we then start to see
some artificial lights. This creates an intense atmosphere as the audience is
going to concentrate more on the sounds and interpretation of the story and
what is happening.
Costumes are another thing that come up clearly
in the opening scene. Captain America is recognised by his uniform representing
the American flag. This costume is modified from the previous movie with a more
technical fabric.
All the
other characters that are part of the team, include Black Window are dressed
with a black uniform. This uses of dark colour made the scene darker and once
on the enemies’ ship you could clearly distinguish the enemies from the team as
they were dressed with casual clothes and they were holding guns. I believe the
uses for casual clothes for the enemies were the best option as they looked
unprofessional.
Also the uses of uniform for the team made the
scene looks even more intense as the audience knows which side they have to
stay with.
So in this case we have only two elements the
lighting and costumes that make a huge impression already to the audience, with
just those elements we know that this movie is going to be an action movie and
it is all going to be concentrate on building up intension to the audience and
create a story from the very beginning.
Another element is the script. This is really
important especially for the audience view as the dark lighting and costumes
make the scene intimidating for the
audience to understand what is happing is going to rely on the actual words
than on what surrounds the scene.
The dialogue is strait forward, with a briefly
explanation of the mission. Here we can understand the Captain America is the
main character as he is the boss of the al team. We can also gave an idea from
those few seconds that Captain American and Black Window are good friends as
they have a normal chat just before he throw himself out of the plain. This
also give a comic tone to the scene and leave the intensity of the scene for a
moment so the audience can feel different emotion all in one little scene, I
also believe that this talked with those main characters was due to distract
the audience from the mission and show that this movie is also a comic as well
as the intensity as it always at very high level those parts make an easier
view to the movie.
This is shown even in the fighting scene.
Soundtrack is added once Captain America throws himself
out the plane. This has been done because the director wanted the audience at
first concentrate on the script as it was fatal to understand the whole story,
then as the action started the music added more intensity and subconscious to
the audience of they are watching and that this was just the beginning.
The timing of the scene is slow at the very
beginning to convey the feeling of intensity and anxiety towards the audience.
As an action movie in the fighting scene everything happens so quickly to make
the audience concentrate and expect the next move.
This is shown with the camera movements that do
lots of close ups on the faces of the main characters to show their expression
but also the make the scene that are out of zoom of more impact. The fighting
scenes have close up as well out zoom to give the impression of being in there
and give more feeling of the movie to the audience.
I really like action movie because the opening
scene is always something very exiting that makes you want to carry on watching
and as lots of different things happen strait away you have to be open-minded
for the next scene and you cannot predict anything.
Marvel logo always appears at the very beginning
of the scene.
In this opening scene we have all different
elements connecting to each other into a unique story compilation.
We have most of the elements we are looking for
the main character, the theme action and the begging of a complicate story
without ending.
