guardians of the galaxy vol 2 in opening sequence you see the main protagonist fighting an evil monster while baby root dances around in the background.  the positioning of the camera throughout the opening sequence is from a far and using a shallow focus as your attention is mainly focusing on groot. the lighting in the scenes were really bright and it has a glow to show the object they are working around is not a normal thing. the acting in this scene was quite serious at some points where as the small character you focus on is messing around. the costumes are quite unique as there group is quite diverse and they are meant to be from different planets or mutated. the facial expressions are focused in their work except for groot who's dancing happily. the setting was really vibrant and the background goes into extreme detail. I think there is one title which appears in the opening scene. The Dark Knight in the opening sequence you see a robbery of some sort and it end...

Guardians Of The Galaxy vol 2 I think this opening sequence follows parts of equilibrium and binary opposite theory the reason for this is that in the short clip we see everything is just normal ( in a way for them ) then it kicks off a bit which suggests they must have a resolution since they have the equilibrium and disruption. I also thought it was apart of binary opposites the reason for this is that they have the good and the bad coming together and fighting against each other.   The Dark Knight I believe the opening sequence follows the enigma code the reason i think this as in the scenes you don't really know what is going on and theres a lot of mystery surrounding it. Another thing is that there are little clues like when he takes of his mask and reveals who he is however you don't really know his plans and gist of what is going to happen next

editing techniques cutaway  i think this cut is a bit basic and sometimes you can confuse this cut with others if you are not sure on all of them / this editing technique can be used in an action genre/we could use this techniques to cut quicker away from the main character cross cutting I think this cut is a good way to show a phone conversation and is used a lot in movies/I think this editing technique would fit the horror genre well as it could be a conversation discussing details before a killing/we could pretend we are having a conversation on the phone. jump cuts   i like the idea of a jump cut as it can show time lapsing which is key some movies add just adds a good effect/a jump cut would be good in a comedy as i comedic jokes to show time lapsing/i could use this to improve my video by adding a jump to the chatting scene    graphic match the transition can be used very effectively when changing scenes like from a character looking...

J-cut-as he’s walking up the boat their scene starts playing before he reaches the top Shot reverse shot-the magic guy and the audience Jump cut-him up the stairs L-cut as he’s walking away you can hear the guy shouting him These are used to create the genre as they can be mysterious and they show some action movie hints as the robbery gives it away i think this clip follows the enigma code the reason for this is that you don't know much of what he is doing or going to do as we don't find out much in the scene.

Under lighting The lighting makes me look unnatural and creepy. This type of image lighting can be used By a evil character or monster. Side light This lighting make people focus on one part of my face But can be seen as someone who is only being half clear and hides Another side to their personality. Back lighting This image can be used in two ways as it casts a shadow over your body but is meant to outline you but this photo could be used as A figure standing at a far side of the room. Edge light In this image you can see only a part of my head is in shadow Which could mean that this image can be used to cover up a Specific feature. Front light Minimum to no shadows could be used to show a characters Innocence as nothing of theirs is hiding in the shadows.  Beauty light In this image it wasn't the best but you can see highlight of The cheek bones but this light could be used in a romance movie To show the beauty of a pers...

Costumes This costume the character wearing Clearly looks like an authority figure Outfit which shows that in this situation He has some power of sort In this still you can see that her costume is Bright red this could suggest her character Is some sort of criminal as red is associated With blood but also she's wearing a mask Which conceals her face which means She's not doing what the law sees as a Right thing In this image you can see a similarity to the last One but the colour is different this could mean Many different things from background to Personality but the thing what does stand Out is the bow and arrow which is old But when used in offence its quiet Makeup In this image you can see that her hair and Make up makes her look more innocent She also looks young in this photo what is another Way to say she's innocent In this image you can see that her hair and Makeup makes her look crazy and unstable This is because t...

baby driver  1. positioning The positioning is used to construct the sub-genre as the camera had to be close enough to the car to see its intense moves but the camera angle was needed as if it was just one long shot of the car driving off there would be no suspense of the chase which may have change the genre of the film. 2.lighting The lighting was used to construct the sub genre as you needed it to be day in order to show the intense chase in more detail. This helped better than a nigh time clip as you cant see much of what is going on plus you need to focus on everything in the scene to understand it all so natural daylight was much needed. 3.acting The acting was used to construct the sub genre. This was because how well the actors performed because of the way they acted it really brought the genre to life and within the opening scenes you can clearly tell what the genre is. 4.costume the outfits the actors were wearing made the clip feel more verisimilitude this is bec...

Establishing shot  Its effective because you can see the whole surroundings in more detail. This can be used as a setting for a romance movie as you got all the vibrant colours which stand out   Point of view shot This shot isn't as effective as  I thought  It would be as  it isn't clear that the child in the picture is looking at however  it would be  More effective if  I had more people which could   make it better .this could be used  In a drama as it could be seen as  an intense  Moment  Close up  This image is effective in a way in  Displaying a sci-fi genre as you  can See that the animal in the picture  Looks like a monster  and by the Close up you can see what he looks  Like in a bit more detail .

 different shot types from different genres romance this shot shows romance it reflects this genre as you can see she has made a heart with her hand and looking through it. from the extreme close up its easier to focus on those features. this shot reflects this genre well as you can clearly see what she's trying to show. however we could have just used facial features to make it clear with out an extra clues which would make it much better spy This genre is meant to show spy genre it reflects this genre in somewhat as you can see from the long shot and crab shot that the spy is mostly unseen by the camera looking through the lazerbeams. horror this shot was meant to show the horror genre and it reflects it well because of the the way the camera is positioned in a high angle. this is because it gives you the aspect of the unknown. this shot did well because of the way that we could cover up the person and place him in the middle of a wooded area to match the...
