1. Iron Man Opening Sequence Analysis
Costume: One of the people in the scene is wearing a suit, and the others are wearing
identical army uniforms. Therefore suggests that the man in the suit is important in some
way and the army men and women are low down are all their uniforms are the same and
are taking orders from someone.
There is an upbeat song playing on a stereo in the army vehicle and because it is an upbeat
song it makes the next event surprising to the audience as it is a devistating event with
people being killed and there being explosions.
The main character has a glass with whiskey in it,
which shows his importance and as it shows that no
one will say no to him, eventhough it doesn’t seem
like a place where you should be drinkning alcohol in
an army vehicle in the middle of a dessert.
A prop that is used is a mobile phone, that looks high
tech, showing that theman must be a wealthy man because he can afford a phone like that.
The explosion is an action code as it builds tension and it indicates that something else is
going to happen. As following the explosions there are gone shots.
When they are driving in the army vehicle
before the explosion, you don’t know where
they are what they are doing, or where they are
going, which could be an enigma code as the
nothing is being given away to the audience of
what is happening, so it starts off as a mystery
to the audience.
Setting: Appears to be in the middle of nowhere in the dessert, nothing surrounding them,
so the audience would expect them to be fairly
safe.
