In the opening title sequence of Spiderman 2, the director/editor uses multiple shots of the characters in comic form to help introduce them. It also uses lots of images from the original source of Spiderman, the comic book. As well as this another effect it also uses is an overlaying effect on spider-man himself, showing a cartooned picture of him and then the overlaying of the spider-man costume. All of these affects help give the audience an idea of what’s to come, adding suspense whilst not giving anything away.
The montage
of shots throughout the title sequence show Spider-man battling with villains
from the comic books, this helps to appeal to a wider audience as people that
may not be interested in films as much as reading comic books but they can
relate to the opening sequence. The montage includes long shots to build
suspense but also quick moving shots which give a glimpse of what could be
coming in the film. The fast paced shots suggest that it is an action film but
also help to create an atmosphere for the film to come.
At the
beginning of the sequence, there are a lot of very quick paced shots from the
comic book by using shots of characters, scenes, phrases etc. These different shots
all then turn to create the studio logo ‘Marvel’, this is interesting and
rather than just showing the logo grasps the attention of the audience. The
film title is introduced by lots of spider webs spinning and then ‘Spiderman 2’
being in the centre of it all, again this captures the attention of the
audience and again suggest the genre of the film is action.
The genre is
shown in the opening sequence by the use of shots, by using quick paced shots
it shows that there is a lot of action to come and by using long slow paced
shots it builds suspense and also prepares the audience for what’s to come. By
using shots of Spiderman fighting villains it suggests that the genre of the
film is action, but also by showing shots of Spiderman kissing a girl it shows
that is has a hybrid of romance.
