Post 13: 9 shot analysis of 'Hellboy 2 The Golden Army' opening sequence




  • All nine shots only use red, orange and black - the combination of these particular colours are related with hell and fire, this will make the audience think that the film is a dark, mythological thriller or action film.
  • The use of the word 'hell' in the title (as mentioned before) and the words 'golden army' suggest that there will be fighting on a large scale. All of these factors make the audience assume that the film is a dark mythological action film with a high budget and impressive special effects.
  • On the fifth shot there is a picture of a machine, the use of cogs and gears throughout the nine shots and the machine in shot five give a steampunk feel to the opening sequence.

I like this title sequence because it incorporates different features such as the cogs (seen in shot one and two) build up to create the title of the film through an intricate sequence of cogs and clockwork machinery in a long, sweeping camera shot, it is very visually appealing and enjoying to watch.
