Deadpool Analysis

Deadpool Opening

Within the first 7 seconds we see a montage of comic book photos this implies that the film is based off a comic. The beginning is iconic for marvel films, the targeted audiences will recognise this. From the first 7 seconds it is implied that this movie is a sifi or a superhero movie so automatically the audience know it is a fiction film. Non-diegetic sound is calm music which is unconventional for a superhero movie. They is an element of anticipation as for 13 seconds all we see is the marvel name this shows the importance of the company.Audiences may associate the Marvel name with other films they have enjoyed.

The colour scheme is reds, oranges and blacks this keeps with the theme of comic books. The typography of Marvel is in bold white writing upon a red back ground. This highlights the company name. From the red background danger and excitement is implied this is common for the superhero genre.White upon the red implies innocence this may be a metaphor for the hero's with in the comic genre. Also this shows binary opposites as the white is a positive colour and red is a negative.At 13 seconds the name fades out and cuts to the next scene.

For 5 seconds the screen goes black this sets the audiences up for the start of the film. A close up of a bullet is first shown then pans out to revel a man shot in the head. This is a interesting shot what gives a real feel for the scene. Audiences feel part of the action as the smallest details are shown. The expression on the character is that he is in pain. From this we see the film involves violence and action so we know the film is for a older and mature audiences.

As the beginning carries on we are still exposed to an extreme close up of the action and are in the heat of the scene.The unusual shot leaves questions for the audiences as they can not see the full scene. Editing is seamless so the audience truly feel part of the action. CGI is heavily used this is conventional for a marvel movie. From the opening we see the film has a large budget as it has interesting CGI and effects. At 33 seconds a gun is showed being fired this tells the audience they is crime within the film. The gun answers the question of where the bullet came from. As the scene goes on pieces of the puzzle are revelled and answers slowly unravel.    

The first credits show the company names then moves on to what would be the actors and producer's names it shows an element of humour in the narrative as the film is mocking its self with funny credits. This contrasts with the graphic scene, so does the calm music. Audiences are getting mixed messages about the scene and are introduced to the films dark humour.

The theme of humour carries on in this scene at 41seconds we first see the main actor in a unconventional way. Ryan Renalds is upon a magazine with the worlds sexiest man upon it. This is the actor mocking him self. Audiences will find humour within this. This is a cultural code as the director is expecting the audience to know who Ryan Reynolds is.

At 1.17 Deadpool is put into shot the iconic red and the black costume is shown. The samiri swords are Deadpools trademark and the director expects the audiences to know this. From this shot we see Dead Pool is an unconventional hero as he is pulling a mans pantsback back. This shows that he isn't a serious character like other marvel hero's.
