Amazing Spider-Man 2 Opening Analysis

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

First 2 Minutes

Use of Camera: At the beginning of this film we have a bird’s eye view of the city, this involves spider-man being slightly below the camera so that he can be in shot. Therefore this shot may be showing us that he is in control of the city and that he is the more powerful than those below him. Here we start to see many medium shots of him swinging from building to building. We then get a low angle view of spider man, this once again supports the fact that he is very powerful compared to the rest of the city. We get a close up of a man driving a truck and smashing through police cars, this shows us that he is going to be the antagonist of this film or just the beginning so that spider man can demonstrate to the audience his abilities to fight crime. We get a long shot of spider man as he approaches the action, this is to show is control over the situation. We get a close up of the criminals face as he locks his eyes onto spider man, he comes across shocked and maybe scared as he knows it is going to be hard to try and stop him from ruining his plan.

Use of sound: The music used in the beginning of the film makes us feel like it is building up to something huge. You then go on to hear the sound of transport, this indicates to us that he lives and protects a very busy city. We start hearing him scream ‘Woo Hoo’. This tells us that swinging from building to building can be very exciting even if you do it a lot. We then hear the police about a hijacking, this tells us that spider man is on his way to stop the crime happening within New York City. We hear police sirens, this makes us add to the tension of the crime going on in the city and helps us know that spider man is likely to get involved. Spider man uses dialogue that can be seen as very cocky, this is most likely used due to the fact that he knows he is easily going to stop the criminals.

Use of titles:

Mise en Scene:
The location they use at the beginning is a very busy city and you also see the costume which shows that he is the protagonist, the costume also has the spider man symbol which helps the idea that he is going to be the protagonist in this film. They use a helicopter, this may be used to show just how high spider man can go in order to add to the feeling of him being powerful. The man driving the truck has a tattoo across his head, the connotations of someone having tattoos is that thy can be scary and aggressive.
