superman returns coursework

In the opening scene of superman returns you are presented with a fire ball that been zoom into such a degree a wide shot has been used and moves into a reverse zoom as if the fire ball was just falling within itself then explosion of a new blue fire ball that has expended to out of the shot so that you are enticed around this new fire ball. This connotes that the red fire ball could of getting rid of the old and in with the new and how time change. Editing was used for the next’s scene, as the blue fire was use to represent new life then a graphic match was use to make the centre of the fire ball to look like a planet.

An establishing was use to set the scene and tell you the audience where we are.  An extreme zoon was used to pin point that meteorites have some kind of importance, as the meteorites went pass we had a use of a sting, this makes the audience a sense of being there and that it’s actually happening around them. By this point the credits start along with the sound tract, the credit have been given a effect of the letter being stretched because the expansion of time has been sped up but the credit have stayed the same too live the stretched look. The sound track is tensing at first to give the audience a bit of uncertainty as what’s going to happen next’s, slowly as it goes on, building momentum as the camera is using tracking shot, the faster the tracking becomes the music becomes louder and more uplifting.

 Another graphic match has been used again of an effect of fire has been use again as the zoom and then the reverse zoom was use you had the image of symbol of the superman badge, this connotes  sets up the film as you now know what this film is about and who it is about.

The way in which the title sequences is being shown as if it’s been seen though someone’s eyes and that we are going on the journey with them. This feeling connotes that it’s us going through the flying experience as we by pass planets and meteorites.

The semantic code was used at the beginning of title sequences when you are given a fire ball at the beginning what is seems but it actually becomes a planet at the end, this would have been done to give a back ground story to something or someone because we now know where it started and where it’s going to finish at earth.

The theory of binary opposites is there as you have the super-natural against the natural, from being in space in the super-natural then to stop at earth for the natural, the connote set up the audience to be unsure on what’s going to happen when both of the naturals meet.

It makes the audience wanting to find out more.
