Iron Man - Opening Sequence

Iron Man Opening Sequence -


Cinematography:
At the beginning of the clip there is a close up of Robert Downey Jr, and this shows his facial expression well creating tension with the viewer wondering what is happening making them want to carry on watching the film. Then it goes into a establishing shot of the press, showing two very different shots and angles, making the sequence much more interesting. Although, it goes into animation, showing creations of 'iron man', yet close ups, mid and long shots are used to show these images.

Mise-en-scene:
There isn't no real setting for the opening sequence but right at the beginning we see a press room, and we know this by a famous person talking to the press, whom have props like cameras and microphones, while wearing very formal suits showing that the meeting is very important. Also, after that clip we seen more of an animation with the colours of green, blue and many more, on a black background with credits appearing over the top.

Editing:
During the opening sequence there are not many clips from the actual movie, only right at the beginning and they aren't on for long, but it is almost a form of continuity editing as credits are appearing in a certain order, so that its not random. Also, the opening is mainly animated maybe to make the audience carry on watching and to get them hooked so they want to know what the film is about.

Sound:
The sound within the opening sequence is very loud and is almost like rock music, and this could make the viewer feel excited as it may represent that the film is an action packed movie with a lot of special effects.
