1. Star Wars – Return of the Jedi.
Opening Scene Analysis.

2. The size of the space
ship is emphasised in
this shot to show how
powerful the ship
must be.
Image of half built skull look-a-like
to show that something is under
construction to build something
powerful.
This scene shows an established
shot which is typical in films to
show where about the film is
set. But this one is unusual as
the shot lasts for 27 seconds.
This shot also gives an enigma
code for the audience making
them think ‘What is it?’ or
‘Who’s is it?’.

3. This shot shows that the big ship is important and
powerful to the film and it has been emphasised in this
shot by showing a smaller ship flying into the mystery
‘skull’ shaped planet?
This shot shows clearly
that the film is a Sci-Fi Film
as the scene is shot from
space.
Throughout the film, the director has had to use CGI (Computer
Generated Imagery) to create the film to make it look like it has been
shot from space because they obviously couldn’t shoot it from space.

4. Tilt shot to show that Darth Vadar
is a powerful ‘man’ and is a villain
in the film as you can tell through
the colours of his outfit.
(Before Darth Vardar's entry) The uniform
shows that he is potentially an
important character to the film.
His face in this scene also shows
freight or anxiety about the entry
of Darth Vadar as though he has
done something wrong.
As well as showing importance of
the man in uniform, you can see
in the background of the scene
that his men are giving Darth
Vadar a respectable entrance.
The costume of Darth Vadar
shows that he is an intimidating
character within the film,
without hearing his voice.

5. The same camera angle has been used here
showing the importance of the spaceship and
the pressure in which them man is under and
that everyone is watching over him and
looking down on him.
Although you cannot hear it, in this scene the well known Star
Wars sound track is brought in at a faster pace and louder
compared to when Darth Vadar comes out the spaceship letting
the audience know that this is a significant part of the film.
