Furious 7 Opening Scene

Furious 7 Opening Scene 

In the opening scene of Furious 7 it starts with a very serious Derkard Shaw (Jason Statham) speaking in an very intimidating voice. As the Deckard is speaking he speaks to his brother who looks injured lying in a hospital bed with scars all over his body, this makes the audience think that this film is going to be explosive as already in the first seen someone is severely injured.While he is talking to his brother in the bed he is admitting that he did what he did to protect someone else,this makes Deckard look really evil and unsympathetic as he just walks away feeling no guilt and then the hospital that he is in gets blown up. As he leaves he walks through a load of gunshots and bombs going off, this is during the titles as they show the actors names, this shows to the audience what to expect in the film as it is a action film. The location is in a city of the United States, having a action film set in the city is always good as you can have loads of building and car explosions this leads to the film being very dramatic and serious. the characters in the opening scene is just Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) he makes the audience feel intimidating with his deep, serious voice. Jason Statham is also a very good looking British actor so  the audience will love to see him in action. The opening scene will effect the audience as it has to be dramatic and exhilarating so the audience will want to watch it throughout without getting bored.

There are a few sound effects used in the opening scene, at the start it is a very serious quiet sound while Jason Statham is talking as the director wanted the audience to feel the tension in Jasons voice so that is why the sound is quite quiet. As Derckard leaves the hospital room there is a rap song from I believe is called Reggie rap is playing this makes the opening scene look more current as it sounds like a gangster song it shows that the film is going to be explosive. The body language that Deckard has is very unsympathetic towards his brother, this shows that he has no heart as he is basically telling his brother to man up because that is why he is in hospital.

the camera shots used in the opening scene is a long shot this is a shot of the whole city, this shows the audience the scenery and location of where the movie is going to be set. as the camera zooms out it turns into a over the shoulder shot this is showing  Deckard looking at the city as the camera is shooting behind his shoulder. There is a few medium shots used in the opening scene especially where Deckard is in the hospital with his brother this shows the character from the hips upwards. Also in the opening scene is a close up of Deckard is giving the gun to his brother this shows the close up detail of the shot being held. Finally as Deckard is in the lift the camera is moving around to show Deckard standing in the lift this camera movement is called track which the camera moves around the object. Overall Furious 7 is a brilliant action film to watch as the audience can feel the intense emotion in the film as the explosion and stunts are taking place.
