analysis of opening scene to guardians of the galaxy

The scene starts with a man putting on headphones and pressing play on his Walkman this then shows the less serious nature of the film as usually with action adventure films which this film is you don't usually see characters putting on headphones and this then starts the non-diegetic music  which the main character begins to dance to this adds a comedic element to the scene which may have been put into to show how easy this task is for this character. We then see a quick edits of shots with credits showing who is involved in the film. Also these shots help to establish the danger of the place through the rugged and dark surrounding also the inclusion of small very aggressive creatures adds to the danger. We then see the main character kick the small creatures away in the tune of the song then taking away all their threat but also building this characters profile. The main character the sees one of these small creature try and attack him from head high and by using a medium shot it shows them both also it helps to show the comedic element as the main character catches it and starts using it as a pretend microphone. We then continue to see the character dance along to the music the camera switches to a low birds eye view of this is used to show how alone this character is, this continues with pans and medium shots one medium shot shows the character moving a skeleton of an alien which then ties into the sci-fi part of the genre of this film as aliens are a very large staple and stereotype of sci-fi films. The shots continue to change but all focus on this main character dancing and progressing his way through this landscape. And the credits stay the same but are changing position across the screen which does not distract away from the main character. We then see the character look over a dark hole with loads of large aliens, we then hear the aliens growling and snarling which although is a sound that is added in later it is a apart of the scene and apart of whats going on in the scene therefore it's diegetic. We then see the character use rockets which are attached to his feet, this is another stereotype of sci-fi films; futuristic technology which is centuries ahead of what we have now. We then see the character go to a set of very large doors which adds to the adventure genre as large doors in films usually mean there is something that needs to be found behind it. There is then a over the shoulder shot of this character using more futuristic technology to  light up the area and reveal something being protected by a force field. The character then puts the light source down and we then get a close up of the object in the force field this shows how important it is. As the scene ends we are lead to believe that this charter has come here for this object.
