Opening to The Expendables 2

They use different camera shots throughought the opening two mins so that you understand what is happening in more depth. the over the shoulder view on the man in the tank shows us the whole view of what is happeing in front of the character, the high angle view on the city shows us the damage. The close up on the characters shows us their expressions and makes us understand their feelings.The medium shot length shows all the characters and shows the whole scernery.
        Their is a fast editing pace as it is an action film everything happens at a fast pace so it keeps the sceen moving and also it keeps us gripped to the scene and makes us feel tence as we want to see what is going to happen.
        This scene gives us the impression that this film is an action film this is because we see explosions, guns and people dying these are the usuall conventions of an action.the loud noises and the characters actions are violent and make us realize this is an action.
        We instantly realize who are going to be the characters we like and who are going to be the main antagonists, the men who are driving in the tanks are going to be the heroes, we get this inpression because they look like they are comming to save the day.
        The loud noiseing in the background makes us feel glued to the screen, as it is quiet we get the impression it is heroic.
        I believe that the start of this film is good becasue it makes you wonder what is going to happen, it is not aimed towards girls as their is alot of blood and violence i belive it is good because you are able to relate it to real life.
