Research into similar films - Thor : The Dark World (2013) by George Taylor


Research into simmilar films - Thor : The Dark World (2013) - By George Taylor
  1. Frame 1 is the title to show who created the film, the way that this title is impressive is that it  shows a comic flick of many shots turning like a book to pull out and show us the "Marvel Studios" logo. I would like the main task to share a simmilar title opening using some of these techniques.

2. The introduction to the film is a narration of a story bieng told, telling a story of "The Aether" a powerful and ancient weapon, this type of narration is simmilar to the one we intend on using in our main task. Its showing us the battle that the Aether was used in and how it came to bieng. But the only catch is it can only be used when the planets are alligned 

3. This shot is a shot of the 2 people who are in power over the army that are facing off against the protagonists Grandfather in battle, so these are the antogonists in this section of the film. These 2 are over looking the battle and want to stop the apposing army so that they can hold of the army whilst they wait for the planets to allign (As seen in Frame 2) once the planets have alligned they can access the power of the Aether.

4. This shot shows a group of troups using a form of travel that is recognisable and associated with Asgard, the place of living of the protagonist (Thor). I like this shot as it shows the power of the Protagonists species and is also a good use of a tracking shot as we see the light beam travel quickly through space and follows it onto the battle ground.

5. This shot used a Extreme long shot of the group landing onto the planet and to show the power of this travel as it caused the ground to shake and it makes a booming noise which causes the soldiers to stumble and turn as the landing has cought their attention as they know that this travel will bring the strong force of Asgard, the use of shots in this short section is effective, while the narration still continues telling the story of the battle and giving back story, thats the important part is how they use this narration.

6. This is a reveal shot followed by a reaction shot that pans in and uses a medium close up of the Protagonists Grandfather as he jumps straight into the battle and shows his strength and power, the narrtion still continues as these shots proceed to happen.

7. This shot is a low angle as the antagonists army have returned with a strong soldier to counter act Asgards attack, this shot is used to show the charecters power as this type of shot gives the impression of something bieng bigger then it actually is.

8.  This close up shows a red glowing crystal that looks simmilar to the Aether that we was shown early but alot smaller. He proceeds to crush it in his hands and it gives him a transformation that makes him bigger, stronger and more powerfull.

9. This tracking shot follows the powered up soldier as he powers through the armys lines as they try to stop him, this tracking shot is useful as there are many things/people in the foreground but out of focus as the main focus of this shot is the soldier and this is useful as we will be using a tracking shot within our main task when the main charecter is on the phone walking home and we can have things in the foreground like this.
