AS Media Analysis: Defy FINAL Cut

Overall I found this opening really was action packed and I like how that adrenaline and action builds up with the used of music and the fast paced shots, so it fitted the action genre perfectly. I really like the news videos embedded into the world map, it really makes the opening professional and sophicated, yet it added tension as all the clip built up. Also the definition of Defy again made it look professional but it also suggest what if the film is about (if it is a full length film). The low angle shot which looks up to the main protagonist, so this could suggest he has importance and/power and mostly in his fingers as he types away on the key board so he could be a threat to someone or a group of people by his power and control.  Also this low angle shot is tracking along the screen going towards the left as it unravels technology equipment and computers so it connotes that we are set in the modern day and give an indication of what the main protagonist does. Then we get an over the shoulder shot which views the laptop and pieces of paper so this highlights that the protagonist is some sort of hacker or computer genius. Then we get a medium shot of the male as he speedily gets up and runs away. Then run away shots are shot a mixture of wide and long shot that are hand held to make the clips more edgy and realistic by how he runs past but it also shows his journey and where he is going to. Then the last couple of shots of are medium and long shot however the protagonist is hided by the shadows as he becomes a dark silhouette figure, this shows he can be dangerous as we (the audience) gotten an masked personality which highlights some narrative enigma at the end of the opening.
