Analysis of clip

Their is a lot key lighting, and back lighting withing a very dark scene to emphasise the power that storm has in the scene and what she is creating for the city of L.A, the mixture of a pretty much dark mise en scene and key lighting hammers home the impact she has on the city as the resulting image looks very bad for the city. The lack of non-diegetic sound shows the directors intentions are to try and make storm seem as devastating as possible with the carnage on show made all the worse by the sound that she has created. The overall gloomy grey blue dual colour con notates the intimidating and scary feeling amongst the residents, after all they would not be running around scared their going to die if it was a hot and sunny day. The facial expressions and actions of them running and swerving their cars indicate their feelings towards the storm and potenial lethal effects it could have on them.

This part has a lot of light and dark contrasts that go with the pace of the shots, these features are mostly throughout when their are flying objects . Theses contrasts of light and darkness could portray the binary oppostion of humans being good and mutants being evil or the other way around Storm who is the central character in this scene is given a powerful representation with the city massacre she creates but also gives off an impression she is an angry irrational character who lets her emotions get the better of her but it is not displayed what her actions where motivated by in this particular scene. The producers of this text are marvel who have been producing films for years Marvel characters have been adapted into films including the Spider man, blade and X-men trilogy the Fantastic four film series, Dare Devil.

In this particular scene it diplays a hybrid genre of action and sci fi with the effects that are used to portray storms power gives it a sci fi feeling but the speed and intensity of it gives off the action vibe. Based on the differing codes and conventions that are portrayed in it it suggets which codes our for which genre like flying, sepcial effects, updateded almost furturistic technoligy and powers that storm characters poses

Females and storm specifcily are being represented as being strong , powerful and empathtic with her actions, no longer is the appearence amongst actresses so blatantly exposed as her personailty sines through her actions. Also it shows usual everyday people as weak and vunerbale compared to thier mutant opposites.

The audience for this trailer is realaticly young people speficily middle aged teens going onto people in thier 20s who are lovers of this type of genre. The majority are ones that have grew up watching x-men in comic books so have fond memories of it while they where growing up and have an interest in watching the film version to view the similarites and differences of the two and to see whether the films hype lives up to the comic books.

The patriarcal idea is completely tossed away in this scene has both men and woman seem powerless to stop the onsluaght while the one who is causing all the mayhem is indeed a female Its a linear narrative with only one event happening no hint of a dual or any flaskbacks or intergrating event while the storm is happening. A lot of binary oppotions are raised in the scene like good- evil, light and darkness of lighting and the mayhem and calmity during and at the end.
