Green hornet opening


The clip opens with the 'Columbia' logo, but the torch that the woman usually holds is glowing green, and then 'explodes' and goes to the 'original films' logo. The clip then cuts to a child sat in a car with the window down and is flying the toy of a superhero. The music thats playing at this point is quite dramatic and is non-diegetic. There is then a mid shot of the boy as he sits back into the car, and the camera pans out showing the car (which is quite old fashioned) and a man which looks like a butler, through this mis en scene the audience assumes this part of the film isn't set in modern times. There is then a two shot of the boy and 'butler' as they are walking, they seem distant which may back up the point that he is a butler. You then see that they are in an elevator through the use of a point of view shot; when the doors open there is a mid shot of the boy and the writing 'columbia pictures presents' appears. The non-diegetic music then stops as the camera pans to follow the pair walking through an office, with diegetic office sounds in the foreground. They then walk into an office and the visuals 'The Green Hornet' appear whilst the first bit of dialogue happens. The small boy in this clip is being spoken at by a man in a suit, who we as an audience believe is his father. The man then grabs the toy off of the boy and breaks it, whilst you hear the boy screaming. There is a tilt up from the toy to the mans face before he throws the toy back to the boy.
