Adywans - Star wars: Revisited - The Opening Scene.

In the opening 2 minutes of Star wars 4 we see instantly a small space ship under attack from a much larger space ship. As the bigger one passes through the shot we see a low angle shot to show the sheer size of this ship and that it is in control of the smaller one.
As it passes by you can hear the sound of its engines which are so loud that shows how dominent and powerful this ship is.
As the smaller ship is hit by the larger ship, sirens a set off around and there is an imediate emergency around the ship as they could die.
As the smaller ship is engolfed by the bigger one the music starts to slow down and become quiter to show how worried all the soldiers are on board. as the audience see that they are outnumbered they all side with the smaller ship as they feel sorry for them and that they dont want the enemies to succeed.
As the fighting starts the tempo of sound increases dramatically and there is lots of action taking place to keep the audience happy. At the end of the fighting scene we see one of the main characters enter (Darth Vader) and he is one of the enemies. As he enters the sound drops as this shows that he is dominent and that once again he has succeded.
The target audience of this film is for young teenagers and upwards. Mainly a male audience as it is action and adventure. It is also a female audience as there are a few romantic scenes through out the film.
