CAPTAIN AMERICA - Film Study
TIME STAMPS:
Movie Intro/Entrance:
- Creates Mystery! (hissing sound and low visibility). Also creates Mystery because the men were referring
to it as a ‘it’ and they don’t know what it is. Time: 1:47 - long shot. This long shot shows us how big ‘it’
is.
- Zooming in on the shield (military men)
- Steve Rogers has been established as a legendary person - because the men say ‘we need to warn them
immediately’ when they find the shield in the snow. Evolution of a superhero!
Middle:
→ 3:40 - Black screen
→ 3:48 - Long shot (pathetic fallacy!)
→ 4:30 - theme of ‘power’ (really big car; brutal police)
→ 4:34 - Zoom in
→ 4:40 - close up of shoes! They’re incredibly shiny. Emphasizing the importance of the person.
→ 4:56 - Long shot, becomes slightly low angle. The villain is portrayed as ‘higher’ than everyone else. The
way he is standing - dominance and confidence. The icy blue colour adds to the dominance.
→ 5:30 - over the shoulder shot.
→ 7:07 - allusion to the reference to the garden of Eden in the bible. He wants that power (something sacred!)
→ 7:14 - close up of face. The priest has an understanding that it will cause destruction.
→ 7:19 - low angle - emphasize ‘power’.
→ 7:45-7:50 - quote: ‘not for an ordinary man’
→ Started with the Villain so that public can expect a strong hero.
→ 8:11 - Foreshadowing Red Skull
→ 8:52 - close up: medical list
→ 9:05 - 4F (denied from military because of medical reasons).
→ 9:18 - oral bridge from Nazi sticker. Came into mediums shot. Steve is not able bodies. He useless he is
feeling. Incredible sense of guilt.
→ 10:01 - Shield as a motif
→ 11:49 - blind date: he is awkward - difference with Iron Man
→ 13:01 - poster - drawing our attention
→ 13:21 - medium long shot; he is not good enough - doesn’t fit what is required.
→ 14:15 - overhearing the conversation
→ 15:00 - ‘illegal to falsify enrichment form’’ sign: we know he has lied before.
→ 16:15 - medical poster in the background - a lot of these medical issues apply to him.
→ 17:15-17:20 - 1A: he got accepted.
