When the film starts from the very beginning, its starts by showing the target audience the logos such as Warner Bros and Legendary which are some of the biggest film studios in the world. The effect of putting these at the start of the film is that people recognise these logos as a way of saying that it is a good film because these logos are famous and known world wide.
Sound - The sound that is being played when the logos come up in the screen is quite a up beat but slow temped. The music in the opening scene is quite faced paced and upbeat. The effect that this has on the audience is that it create a dramatic effect causing the audience to feel like something is going to happen. There is then non-diegetic sound when there is a noise that sound like a whip playing over the top of the music. The effect of this is that it create tension for the targeted audience and it also adds effect to the film. The music then turns to a slower pace but then eventually speeds up. This carries on throughout the whole of the opening scene. There is also diegetic sound when the characters are talking over the music. At this point the music is at a slower pace and it quieter.
Characters - The main character at the beginning of the film is clear to the audience as he is given the most prevalence when the film starts. The next main character is also a male. The audience knows who the target audience is as he hold the most power when they are up in the helicopter. We can see this because he is the one holding the gun and everyone is doing as he says around him. However, the character with the mask on his face suggests to the audience that he has a lot of power as he talks up the to suggested main character. The effect of this is that it makes the audience wonder who is the one in charge and who everyone id obeying.
Audience - The target audience for this film would be boys and men aged 12+. This is because by watching the film, we can see that majority throughout, the men are given almost all prevalence on screen. Also the cover of the film may not appeal to women as it is dark and mysterious which is a stereotype that is aimed at men, therefore, this would associate completely oppositely to what women are stereotypically seen as which is colourful, sweet and pretty.
Lighting - The lighting in the first slight clip seems quite dark and mysterious. The effect of this on the audience is that it may cause them to feel like something bad is going to happen. This may also suggests to the audience that the main character talking is dangerous which may explain why the camera is face directly in front of him. By doing this, the audience if force to concentrate on him, what he is saying and what his point is and why he want everyone to know it. When the camera changes to the scene in the helicopter, the lighting gets brighter as the camera is using the natural light for effect. The effect of this on the audience is that the audience is intrigued to know what is going to happen. This will interest them more and make them want to carry on watching the film to find out what happens next.
Camera - In the first slight clip on the main male character talking, the camera is aimed directly in front of him. The effect of this is that the audience are forced to look at him and directly aim all of their focus on him The camera is at a medium shot suggesting that we as the audience are forced to focus on the expression that is set on his face and so we visually can see what emotion he is feeling at the time that he is talking. When the camera is in a helicopter, the camera turns from a medium shot to a close up of the main character holding the guns face and so we can see the emotion on it and we can see how determined it is as an audience. The camera continually mores from different shots such as long shots, medium shots and close ups rather quickly and so the audience is able to see what is happening from all angles. The camera then has a shot from outside of the place at a high wide angle. The effect of this is that the audience is able to see the whole of the setting.
