Pirates of the Caribbean (Curse of the Black Pearl) - Opening Scene




In the opening 2 minutes of the pirates of the caribbean we hear mysterious music in the background. the audience then see a big boat coming to wards the camera. with this combined in with the myterios music, we get an idea that this could be the enemys boat.
As the boat becomes nearer we start to hear a young girl singing. we see an over the shoulder shot of her and then a man reaches out his hand and grabs on the shoulder. the first intentions of this scene is that maybe she has been kidnapped.
The man tells off the girl for singing as he says that singing can be the "curse of the pirates that sail these water". This makes her stop singing as she is worried about the pirates.
The clothes that the characters are wearing are very smart. This is because it is the English and they want to show pride for their country.
As the man tells the girl off we see a low camera angle shot on him to show that he is in control of the situation and so the girl should listen to what he says.
The target audience for this film is teenagers and upwards to roughly 60s. It is mainly a male audience as there is many fighting scenes and it is an adventure. It can also be a female audience as there is romantic scenes throughout the film.
