4Th opening reveiw

DIE HARD 4.0
for this opening i am going to look at specifically the shots of the first 2 minutes of the film.

the opening starts off with the distributer, 20th century fox this is a fade in shot, it then fades in a shot of a computer room, this is the establishing shot.
it then tracks across the room, this showing all the computers in the room until it reaches a man who's face it lit up by the light of computer screen he is starring into.
there is then a cut in shot of computer screen that is being looked at by the Caucasian male, this and the computer room in the establishing shot show the film may be based on a technical storyline, it then cuts to a shot of the males face who is clearly focused on the computer screen, this is then followed by a fade in tracking shot of a shelf with a east Asian female also focused onto a computer on the other side of it, it then gives us a cut in point of view shot of her computer screen and here we see a map of America, this helps us to establish were the film is set, at this time a crucial credit comes up - lead actor, Bruce Willis.. supporting my point on the earlier review this is brought up on quite a plain shot to bring more attraction to it because the audience is supposed to see it and get enticed into watching the film by it.
after these few shots there is another shot of the male and his computer screen, on it he is downloading files, then the shot fades into darkness and the title of the film Die Hard 4.0 is shown in bold large white font.

this has helped me greatly with my choice and ideas of shots we could use in our group and also helped decide whether shots look maybe a bit over the top or do not work with certain scenes and film genres.
