Star Wars opening sequence analysis
This is the opening scene of Star Wars it starts off with the title of the movie and the classic star wars tune which most of the people recognize. In the first bit there is a plenty of text and it is shown in the cosmos. As soon as the text ends the shot appears as a extreme longshot as you can see the cosmos and some planets. As the camera stops moving you can see two spaceships shooting at each other and now the audience should know that the genre of the movie is science fiction. The next shot shows the inside of the huge spaceship and you can see people dressed in monotonous clothes which are mainly grey, white and black and also three mashines that can communicate. The audience can guess that this plays in the future. The shots which are used are mainly mid shots and longshots. The pro- and antagonist use laser guns which are definitely a sign of a future object. In a extreme longshot you can see the small spaceship is trying to get in the big one and the orechstrial music is getting eerie, pensive and mysterious. After a little war between the pro- and antagonist in which the music is quite speedy and finally a black clothes guy with a mask comes in who seems to have an enormous power and the orchestrial music calms down but it still seems to be a bit eerie.
