Media Mag: Openning Scenes

Today I  logged onto the mediamagazine that we were given to look through to help us with our coursework. While I was reading through i noticed an article about how the film Kick Ass created an openning scene which was very similar to other blockbuster super hero films. The openning to kick ass starts as many super hero films do; with a super hero wearing a costume and jumping off a building with a twist as instead of the hero flying off like superman or batman would do, this superhero crashes to the ground on top of a car failing at what he is trying to do horribly. This shows that with a slight tweek to what you would expect from a film you can keep the audience on the edge of their seats and will them onto to wtaching the rest of the film. Kick Ass used this so they could create a humouress film where as we could do the same but to catch the audience off guard to make them want to watch the rest of the film... Too bad there isnt going to be one.
