Opening to Kick Ass

The first camera shot is a long shot of a tall building and then you get an over the shoulder view. This gives you a better idea of whats happening and where the scene is going to be taking place, then the medium shot length of the adults shows us their reaction on what is going on and makes us fell that this person is going to be a recognized character. Until we get another medium length shot on the boy crashed into the taxi and the adults reaction this is when we get a different view on what is happening.
        Their is a slow editing pace at the start, this is done to build up the atmosphere and wants to make you feel proud of the character. Then the editing pace builds up when he jumps of the building this is done to show us what everyone is feeling and to show us the reactions of people.
        Families are the main target audience, i get this impression because we see the boy and then adults. This is done to show the adults feeling toward him and to show how much they appreciate him also families like films that they are able to relate to and this is what this opening does.
        Music is being played in the background, it is inspirational music so we get the feeling that we are meant to feel privileged. The boy crashes into the car and the music stops, this is done to make us stop feeling how we are and to change are feeling towards what is going on.
        We can tell that this film is going to be an actin and have some comedy, this is because we get the impression from the start where their is a radio speech that someone is going to save the day, also the costume the boy is wearing suggests to us he is a superhero and that gives us the impression others will be as well. The comedy side comes when he crashes into the car at the bottom of the building and it is an anticlimax.
        I think the opening of this film is good in someways but bad in others, i do not think that personally is for me as i know it is going to be a fake of the real marvel films and i do not like this idea. On the other hand i think the opening scene sets the scene and makes you want to see what is going to happen next.
