The Amazing Spider Man (Bridge Scene)



From the codes and conventions, you can see that this is an action/adventure film. There are many conventions which show this. I will be talking about the: camera techniques,sound and editing. These points will be discussed in further detail below. The camera zooms out tho make us see spider above the bridge.

Firstly, when car was zoomed out it showed us what had happened to it. Then it zooms into the bridge. When the car crashes, the camera shows us which part got hit. When the person looking, it is showing a point of view shot to show us what he was looking at. At 1:00, a mid shot was used to show us what he was doing. It zooms into his spider at the back of his costume to show that he is going to save the people as he is the protagonist. When a person is shouting that his child is on the car, cross cutting editing was used to show us that two scenes are going on at once and it makes us the audience think what the protagonist is going to do. When spiderman flies through the sky with his webs jump cut editing was used because we wouldn't want to see him fly if he does nothing. A close up shot of spidermans shot was used to show us his expression when he was saving the child and showing us that how difficult it was for him. A mid shot was used whwn spiderman shoots a web at the child when he was falling. At the end, the camera zooms in to his face as he was happy when the dad got happy when spiderman saved the child. These techniques and editing was used to show us how each character was.In addition, it showed us med/close up shots when spiderman was saving people.

In the beginning of the scene, it is using a low pitch sound showing something bad is happening. Then, mysterious sound is being used to show what is happening and the car horns back that up. When the car crashes and when the person gets annoyed, the music starts to build up. The music starts developing when the protagonist comes. When the protagonist helps on of the casualties the music stops developing. The music stops when he tries to save a kid while they are having a conversation. When the car burns, the music gets slow to make us think what is going to happen to the boy. When the boy wears the mask, the tone of the music gets happier. When the child's dad asks him how spiderman actually was the music stats to build up. These sounds are usually used in an action/adventure movie because if something intense occurs, the music has to be suited with it. For example, when spiderman was saving the child, the music started to build up to make us what to think what is going to happen, which creates the intensity of the scene.
