First Picture

The camerawork in the still uses a high angled shot to give the effect that the audience is dominant over the figure. Its also a longs shot which is used to show the figure in their environment. The editing throughout the opening is slow-paced to allow the audience to read the titles as they appear on the screen. They use straight cuts to the next shot and then a new title appears on the screen. The title in this still is central so it meant to catch the audiences attention and also its larger and bolder than the other title that appear on the screen from the other shots. The shot is filmed from under water or made to look like it been filmed under water, as well the costume that the figure is wearing seems to be a suit with a tie. There aren’t any props in the shot. The lighting is moderate in the fact the audience can only just see what is in the shot, also they can only just see what the figure is in the middle.

Second Picture (Next on to the right)

The camerawork in the still uses an extreme low angled shot to give the impression that he is falling/dying because the target actually falls towards the camera in the movie. Also the blod pouring out of the target might suggest that hes been shot and will tell the audience why hes falling. The editing throughout the opening is slow-paced to allow the audience to read the titles as they appear on the screen. They use straight cuts to the next shot and then a new title appears on the screen. There aren’t any titles in the still. The shot is filmed from under water again or made to look like it been filmed under water, there aren’t any costumes used. The target could be counted as a prop, the target slowly falls down to the camera and also there are lots of them floating around in the background.
Third Picture (Next on to the right)

The camerawork in the still uses a long shot to show the location of the shot however it doesn’t really show any dominace because there isnt any angles involved to connote inferiority or superiority. The editing through the scene is very slow so the audience can read the title that appears on the screen. The title in the still in more towards the top left corner. The shot is filmed so it looks like a woodland or a forest but I think they have used CGI to create the opening title sequence. As well in the shot there are objects relating to the character/movie but these are more CGI edited props because they weren’t actually filmed.

Fourth Picture (Under the first picture)

The camerawork in the still uses a high angled shot to show superiority to the audience, it is also meant to show inferiority to the character in the shot. Also a long shot is used to show what the character is doing and a bit of the location that he/she is in. The editing throughout the opening is slow-paced to allow the audience to read the titles as they appear on the screen. They use straight cuts to the next shot and then a new title appears on the screen. The title in this shot is in the bottom right corner but it is quite difficult to readbecause of the colours of the background and of the text. The shot looks like the background has been enhanced to look more hostile and dangerous, this suggests to the audience that the character is tough because he/she can handle the environment.
