Guardians of the galaxy evaluation
The scene starts with Groot in the right-hand side of the frame trying to plug some wires together to make the speaker work. Groot is in full focus, whilst a strange alien like monster is blurred out in the far left-hand side of the frame. Even though the monster isn't in focus and the full attention is on groot, we still acknowledge the monster presents. When Groot is able to plug in the speaker, upbeat fun music begins to play. We can already tell that the music and scene isn't going to be parallel sound and that the music is non-diegetic.The titles for Guardians of the galaxy then appear and the whole scene freezes. After a few seconds of complete freeze frame the camera pans 90 degrees and ends up facing the side of Groot. As the lyrics from the song begin to play Groot starts walking and dancing towards the camera. The camera is in front of Groot and as he walks forwards the camera moves backwards, making the scenery behind Groot bigger. As the scene goes on, we see explosions, lasers and the monster breathing out some sort of purple fire. Groot seems completely unaware of this as he is simply just walking around happy and vibing to the music, which pulls the audience full attention away from the fight. The contrast between the fun non diegetic sound of music and the diegetic sound of fighting creates a synchronous effect. The editing is fast and the scene is mainly made of one long shot. The titles are made nice, clear and neon blue for the audience, as there is already so much happening in this scene it makes it easier for the audience to be able to read them. The mis en scene of the colours are bright and playful. We can already tell by the setting and colours that is this isn't a realistic movie set on earth, which makes the genre clear that it will be a sci-fi and most likely set in space. I feel like this opening sequences makes the audience excited for the movie as it has tones of comedy as well as action.
