Man Of Steel

The film starts with supermans mother giving birth to him , the facial expressions shown indicate frustration and pain. The lighting is used on this scene to exaggerate the sweat and tears of the mother , it also exaggerates the facial expression used by the mother. The camera then cuts to reveal an object , which we can assume to be either futuristic or alien. The object shows the picture of the baby , then the camera cuts to the fathers face , the light is focused on his facial expressions and the rule of thirds is used to put the father into the main focus of the scene, The camera zooms out to a long shot to show the room and the surroundings. the robots in the room also back up my previous hypothesis that they are either in the future or on another planet. The camera then alternates back and forth cutting to either the fathers or moms facial expressions, this quick cutting can be used to play on the viewers emotions and fasten the pace of the scene. The camera reverts back to the long shot to show the room again , possibly to give us a second look or the show the characters positions in the scene. The cutting then slows down and slowly reveals the birth of the baby , using the rule of thirds indicates the importance of the baby and it's significance to the story line. tHe lighting indicates the baby is the main focus of the shot and that the importance of the scene is his birth. Finally the camera cuts to the landscape and wildlife of the planet to confirm our theory that the opening of the film is set on another planet.
