Wall-E Opening Scene Analysis
In the opening scene it starts off with the production company Pixar appearing with the famous animation giving the audience an insight, by showing what company has helped create this film and possibly what can be expected by other films they have produced(giving relative/link factor's to the audience).The titles then Fade out into a dark picture with bright dots appearing signifying stars in space giving the audience an instantly recognisable feature to look at, the camera then pans to another production company ''walt disney'' and starts playing a somewhat bouncy American retro music and singing suggesting to the audience that the film will be a lighthearted one because of the iconic production titles and music.
After the titles have faded away the directer uses the spacial feature as a backdrop for the next 20 seconds by going through different galaxy's and planets before zooming into earth which gives the suggestion that the film will be a lighthearted Sci-Fi one because of the incorporation of orbit and different planets,however the camera stops and starts zooming into earth showing that the film's main setting will be earth.Once the camera has come through the earths atmosphere it locates itself to a location that looks like a super normal rubbish tip meaning the earth must of had some sort of tragedy as there is no logical explanation have having such a large deserted wasteland, but as the camera keeps with an overhead shot of earths battlefield of rubbish it then fly's by places that look like ruined cities this gives the audience the suggestion of destruction and disaster which completely contrasts what the audience were expecting, this technique will keep the audience interested as the film gets sadder with the camera stopping over a robot cleaning up with the music and singing fading away a bit like turning down the radio in a car.
