Hot Shots : Part Deux
I have reviewed the first few minutes of this film because it is an action comedy, the same genre of film my group is planning to make, I also watched the whole of the film to get ideas and inspiration for our film opening.
although I will go further into the order of the introduction credits on my next review, I noticed the distributor is always shown before the start of the film, and at the start of the introduction credits the first two names are the director - Jim Ambram, and the lead actor- Charlie sheen, and almost immediately after the lead actors name has disappeared, the film title appears in bold red letters to attract the viewers attention. the probable reason for the early showing of the lead actor is to entice fans of Charlie Sheen and show others in support of the funny side of the film.
after this there is a overhead shot of a sub marine surfacing this provides a relatively simple background to the introduction text which immediately provides comedy in the spelling mistakes and corrections.
the establishing shot comes in about 1:37 in the film and shows a palace surrounded by rocks and cliffs and lit up by multicoloured lights however with a desert like surrounding.

First movie opening review.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=155Ps_q0SUw&hd=1
What is the atmosphere? how is it created?
The Atmosphere is set as we see what looks like a dark old warehouse with luxuries inside, then we see, sinister looking Asian men with tattoos, this makes us presume they are part of a young gang most likely Yakuza due to its setting in Japan. the dark area creates a tense air which peaks when the old tattooed man tell his story of his previous encounter with Ninja's.
How does the opening scene attract viewers?
The target audience for this film is the core audience - 16 to 27, this age group is most likely to want to see action, so the director has made the opening scene to attract them in the hopes the action interests them.
How is the film set up?
The opening scene shows us the power the Ninjas have in the film, and also establishes to anyone who does not know what a Ninja is, the kind of activities they do. the old man who tells the story interests the audience as well as the action however the scene does not do much set up for the main story line.
