2.) Pacific rim Analysis
Th
This low shot immediately sets the action, cyber genre.
It hints at some sort of physical element being
involved, and shows dominance through he low
angle.
The red lights constantly in the backgroundrepresent how the future may be involved and how it
is highly dependant on machine. The names appear with a strong digital-like font and have been altered to look like computer screens.
This is the first shot we get of something weapon based and this extreme close up reveals the size of the machine and the
filters on all the slides are dark with added shine. The gun is pointed at the viewer putting them on edge.
This is the first time we see a natural or less
mechanic structure, we can see conflict and the
metal arm is shining making it look superior.
This extreme closeup of something much smaller, a
knife, is a juxtaposition to the other shots which are on a larger
scale. The shine of the metal and violence of the stab indicate
conflict.
Fast paced rock music is playing non-diagetically in the background
and the shots are fast and dramatic. The dominance of the machines is
shown through the low angle medium closeup.
This music acts as adrenalin and the action/thriller connotations
are implied through this extreme close up of an alien
with its mouth open, implying anger fighting.
Another juxtaposition occurs when this two shot from a low angle is shown compared to all the close
ups that have been shown previously. The helicopters imply a wide scale battle and wide scale
destruction.
An image of the machines identity is shown and we can see it is superior and powerful through he shot and the bright lights coming from its eyes. The hints of red,blue and white throughout the whole sequence imply an American background,
or setting.
Towards the end we can see some sort of logo or organisation
branded on a badge. The eagle suggests power and pride, and the dramatic low angle close up
implies great size.
Finally we see all the machines in full scale from a low angle and with a
blue/dark filter. There is light coming from behind them which suggests
power or dominance and the title is shown in a metallic font and is shown
in front of the robots.
