Camera
The first shot we see is of a building and it is slowly zooming in. Then we track a character from the bottom so there is a sense of a reveal of who this character is. A POV shot used as supposedly the main protagonist walks through the door to see all the characters in the room, around the desk, with a slight over the shoulder shot with a wide shot of the characters. This emphasizes that this likely to be the main protagonist is one of the main characters as you see everything from his perspective. All of the characters get a close up, occasionally you get a close up, with an over the shoulder shot from the main protagonist. As the main protagonist attacks the 'antagonist' (likely to be) a medium shot is used to see the other characters restraining the protagonist.
Colour
The opening scene is in full color but a seepier is used to make it look a bit more old fashioned, as it is set in 1989. All the men are wearing black suits which could mean this is a highly authorized building and formal, inside he building a lot of silvers and blues are used which shows it is strongly secured and it is a heavily technological place. The colors stay the same throughout the scene.
Character
There are 4 characters 'Hank Pym' ( the main protagonist in this scene), 'stark' (the supposedly leader of this cooperation), The girl 'Carter', and the antagonist 'Carson'. Carson is likely to be lower down authorities wise as he is sitting down and the rest are standing, usually this represents the authority because he is smaller, and he is looking for a big achievement to raise his status, it could mean he is actually the boss and doesn't feel the founder of the cooperation shouldn't have that respect because he is keeping his creations a secret.
Narrative
The opening title sequence draws the audience in by being vague with there conversations, Like what is the scientific creation that Hank came up with? What happened to Hank's wife? this is the overall enigma of the story. obviously this like flashback is just to give the audience a gist of what is happening but not too much information, so you want to know what happened between Hank and his cooperation once he left and what is going to happen between him and Carson.
Sound
Outside you can hear cars or some sort of vehicle which represents how modern the building is. Strings and horn are being played and giving off a dark feel as Hank walks in through the doors and are help which is typical in a piece of film music, this changes dynamics during and in between dialogue with the occasionally loud bursts especially when Hank attacks Carson, which make the atmosphere seen quite dramatic. Non-diegetic sound can be heard when the sliding doors open and close. Carson talks differently when Hank leaves he is quite aggressive mainly because he feels intimidated by Hank but secrets to get information from so he acts a bit differently. The music then changes to slightly cheesy foreign music when the titles comes up this is just used to change the mood. The music cuts out just before this and fades to black for a second.
Settings
There are 2 setting 1 outside the building and 1 inside, even though its modern its an authentic looking business room with scenes and smart technology for doors. Its quite a big room which could mean that these people are wealthy. but a lot of technological screens are used which represents a typical office in our time but maybe not in 1939 which seems unbelievable.
Audiences
This movie is definitely aimed for the film fanatics and viewers/fans of marvel film/comics. This is quite a popular film and will be available to most countries to watch, mainly in Britain and America. And for the same reason mainstreamers will like the is movie and go and watch it as well. There will probably like action and adventure films as well as some Sci-Fi films.
Titles
The opening title sequence only featured 1 company logo, Marvel studios, and showcased the iconic logo off with the typical flicker of the comics and displays the Marvel logo also used in the comics, with a bold text all in capitals, which helps the logo stand out, and also the red is used which is a typical color for marvel to use in their comics and their films. By doing this it cleverly likes into the film of superheroes, so it seems like you are flickering through a marvel comic book
