Black Panther Scene Analysis
This scene begins with a young child asking his father to tell him the origin story of his homeland. The scene has a black screen for the first 10 seconds then fades into a wide shot of the stars and a meteorite hitting Earth.
The main camera angle throughout this scene is all level with the 'characters' in frame. This is because the story being told shows all of the people involved as equals. However, when the King of Wakanda is first shown there is a slight low-angle because he is more powerful than the other characters.
The camera movements during through this scene are fluid as it is CGI. There are no cuts or transitions. Although, the camera does circle a single point a lot, with the camera circling this one point the background changes from a solid to smoke then to a solid again taking a new form.
The lighting in the scene at the beginning is very dark as we are introduced to an age of war and violence, thus connoting the somewhat 'evil' within the people. After we're introduced to the protagonist of the story everything becomes bright as he glows the same way that the material used to create their city does. This allows us to differentiate between the main protagonist and side characters.
Each character in the frame is in focus as each person is crucial to the scene's development and what happens next.
Sound
All of the sound in this clip is over-dubbed. For example, the voice we hear is a voice over which corresponds to the story being presented on screen. The sound that we hear as part of the characters moving is all foley sound as this is CGI. The score playing is parallel to the scene that is being shown to the viewer. The voiceover is diegetic as it can be heard by the characters in the world of the film.
