Opening title sequence of Guardians of the galaxy

 Guardians of the Galaxy 

Scene 1, throughout the whole of the Guardians of the galaxy opening sequence special effects, are used otherwise known as SFX. In the first shot are focus is drawn towards Groot the little stick person, he is seen to be trying to plug in some speakers. As Groot plugs in the music we start to see the opening credits which are done in a cyan neon colour, they are also done in a sort of bubble written to drag the audience's attention towards them.

 Scene 2, diegetic music starts to play and the focus pull is withdrawn slightly so we as an audience can start to see more clearly what is going on behind Groot, being a fight against an octopus type beast. The screen then freezes with Groot standing in an aggressive position in front of the opening title of the film, the opening title has been done in big bold letters with gold. Underneath the main title we see volume 2 done with the same neon font as the opening credits this indicates that this is the second film of the series. This has been done with a mid-shot.

scene 3, The camera rotates around Groot till he is facing forward with a mid-shot of him dancing. This scene begins the juxtaposition between what Goot is doing and what is happening around him (he is dancing to music while there is a beast battle going on behind him). There is still a focus pull on Groot. Opening credits continue to appear throughout these scenes.

Scene 4, has a very clever mid-shot of three characters. This scene is clever due to the fact it appears as if one of the characters is pointing towards an opening credit drawing the audiences focus towards it. The credits continue to use the cyan colour.

Scene 5, diegetic music continues as the camera rotates and follows around Groot whilst introducing other characters that are in the frame. The costumes in Guardians of the galaxy strongly suggests that it is si-fi. as well as action, as guns with lazers are the props. The gun's laser going off is diegetic sound as the audience and characters cab hear the sound. 

Scene 6, the camera pans out and we receive a more establishing shot of the location they are in which appears to be some sort of alien platform.

Scene 7, we see a close-up of Groot's face, and his eye direction makes the audience look towards the opening credits as the character freezes briefly.

Scene 8, the camera pans around Groot with another establishing shot, switching focus between Groot and a fly. The fly flying noise is diegetic. 

In scene 9, the camera starts to follow Groot who is now attached to some sort of alien rat, the sound of the rat screeching is diegetic as well as the sound of lazer guns going off. This has a long shot duration. In scene 9 you can see the continuity rule taking place. Track dolly is used to do this shot as a lot of action is taking place however the camera is very steady. There is a large vocal length for this shot as we can see the floor underneath the platform. This is before we see Groot has gone in a full circle back to where the opening sequence started.
