Terminator 2- Opening 2 minutes

This is my analysis of Terminator 2

• Long shot of busy roads, lots of cars driving by.
• Titles appear white writing (Shows producers and directors).
• The next shot is a mid shot of people walking around the cars infront of the camera, makes it feel more realistic.
• Non-Digetic tense music, very slow.
• Slow editing so you are meant to concentrate on what you are watching.
• Cuts to a shot of a girl on swing.
• Busy Playground.
• Medium shot of her on the swing.
• Camera follows her movement on the swing backwards and forwards.
• Producers and Directors appear- same font.
• The titles are in the center of the screen- main focus-important.
• We see girl swinging backwards and forwards starts to go in slow motion as nuclear bomb is reaching her.
• The sound builds up.
• Sound effects-Girls happy laughing turns to echoed scary laughing.
• Music builds up like a cruscendo.
• The image is saturated.
• Fades into white background.
• Girl Dissapears behind white screen.
• The sound stops-silence.
