Shot/Sequence 1:
00:00-00:05
The sequence starts as the shot tracks Tony around a corner before becoming a wide shot which establishes the size relationship between him and the creature, creature takes up almost the entirety of the right of the screen following the rule of thirds. Makes the threat seem insurmountable to the audience.
Shot/Sequence 2:
People are placed erratically throughout the shot, reflecting the chaotic nature of the scene. The wide shot shows the large number of people within the scene who are panicking, showing the audience the civilian perspective of this horrific event and perhaps allowing them to sympathise.Shot/Sequence 3:
Double midshot which places Captain America at the forefront, reflecting his status as the leader of the group, he is placed to the left reflecting him as the point of interest due to the rule of thirds, meaning he is the one audiences should focus on.Shot/Sequence 4:
1:47-2:00
Sequence starts by tracking Bruce as he walks towards the creature and the creature barrels towards him, he isn't looking at the creature instead looking towards the camera/Captain America's direction, it transitions to a close up of his face as he deliver's the line "I'm always angry", the shot then transitions to show his side as he transforms, before transitioning to a shot from behind him before another shot of him from the side as he punches the creature. This sequence serves to convey the power and confidence of Bruce as his lack of fear walking towards the creature and the shots used show that even though he is smaller than it, he is more powerful.
Shot/Sequence 5:
2:22-2:32
Sequences begins focused on the Hulk, it then pans around the characters, breaking the 180 degree rule as it does so, showing each character either arrive or show their personality. This breaks the 180 degree rule in order to show the faces of all 6 heroes and give them equal power in the scene, the shot remains as a wide shot at a slightly low angle to convey the heroes' power within the scene. It then ends on a six shot showing all of the character's faces looking camera right to something, indicating to the audience that there is another threat.
Great analysis Chandler!
ReplyDeleteWWW: your analysis of the meanings conveyed
EBI: you do end up forgetting to identify the shot types (they all become 'shots')
