At the very start of the film it starts off with a cobweb and a spider crawling across it so it shows already the key to the film being about spiders and of course it is referring to spiderman the main character. Also the typography in the opening has a very stylised typography of the title of the film as it shows the title made up from cobwebs showing us more stylised spider references.
The scene starts off by making a transition from the logo of the film (a spider) and transitions from the logo to the back of his suit as he plummets down into the city. The music is a very heroic score and it sound bridges from the end of the titles into the clip. As spiderman swings down it shows a wide range of dynamic shots as it zooms across the city whilst spiderman swings from web to web.
The first scene is an establishing shot of the city as it shows all the skyscrapers around spiderman as he plummets down further. Spiderman is clearly shown as the hero as he is introduced with this heroic score of music and the way he is rushing to the police chase shows he is going to help and of course when he gets there he stops the gunmen.
In the opening it cross cuts from spiderman to a police chase with a very stereotypical villain as he has a big scar across his forehead and looks very tough so the audience is immediately shown who is the hero and who is the bad guy. Also to add to this when the villain is shown the music drops to very thundering and tense incidental music to show that he is a danger to people and he is clearly doing something that needs to be stopped.
As spiderman swings around we get another establishing shot as spiderman flies into the air and helicopters come into shot with a policeman speaking through a radio saying there is a police chase. This introduces the idea of the police chase and gives the audience information that spiderman is going to the police chase to save the day.
Camera
The first shots that are shown are always fixed onto spiderman as he is the main hero of the film. Mainly the shots are long shots of spiderman as it shows his acrobatics of swinging from web to web. Occasionally spiderman moves back and forth as the camera concentrates on him so they vary from extreme long shots to long shots. When the narrative switches to the police chase they show a lot more close ups of the bad guys as it shows that what they are saying or doing is important to whats happening. As the story progresses it shows another narrative with a guy with blueprints called Max and his blueprints fly across the road from his hands showing close ups of his character and then when the narrative switches back to spiderman and the bad guy it shows establishing shots of the locations they are driving past. Then switching back and forth until the narratives join and spiderman saves Max.
Sound
The music starts off heroic as spiderman is in shot and has very a happy and inspirational score to it. The music then becomes a lot more tense when the police chase is show in the cross cut and incidental music makes the scene more and more tense as the bad guy shows up. As it cross cuts to spiderman the music instantly changes back to heroic showing that spiderman is the hero and has come to save the day. A lot of diagetic sound can be heard from the scene as police car sirens are blasting through the city and crashes and bangs are from the cars being smashed to pieces. Some non diagetic sounds like spidermans web noise is added in to make a better swishing effect and gunshots and some crashes are added in to put emphasis on the noise. whenever spiderman is going to do something heroic the music switches to heroic to emphasise that he is doing the heroic thing.
Target audience
The target audience is geeky boys and girls ageing from around 11 to 30 because the fans of spiderman are around that age group and would go to see this movie in the cinema. Either fans of superhereos or fans of marvel would wanna see this movie or even someone who likes action packed movies.
