Creed analysis

Genre

The genre of this film is clearly established within the first couple of opening minutes. It is clear that the genre of this film is action, this is due to the fact that within the first 2 minutes of the film there is a fight within a juvenile prison.

Narrative

The narrative of this film is also made clear to us within the first couple of minutes. This is made clear to us as the main actor is seen clearly punching another inmate, this connotes with the story of the film as the main character becomes a boxer walking in his dads foot steps later on in the film.  

Character

The main character of this film is made very clear to us in the two opening minutes, this is because the camera follows one of the boys around, and the camera also displays a low shot of the character as he punches another actor, showing us that this is the character that we will be following. 

Atmosphere

The atmosphere of this film is once again made clear to us in the opening two minutes of the film. This is because a negative atmosphere is displayed from the off with boy being involved in a fight within a prison, which connotes the idea that it is come be a youth journey that the character is going to have. 

Theme 

The theme of this film is established early on, as the camera displays a close up shot of the character clinching his fist, which connotes early on that this film is going to be about boxing.

Sound

The sound used within this two minute opening clip is mainly dietetic sound, being the sound of the punches as they hit and the talking and shouting of all the characters, this shows us as an audience that the diegetic sounds within this film are important to listen to. 

Titles

The tittles used in this opening scene is only the title of the film which is diplayed in black why, this helps make the the title of the film stand out to the audience as it is in contrasting colours, which in turn helps the audience to remember the name of the film. 

This will help me when i come to create my film opening because many aspects of this opening scene are similar to the aspects i want to include in my opening scene to my film.
