Screenshots...


SPiiDERMAN...








The genre of this film is action. This shot is from the film Spiderman. Spiderman is a fictional character first who first appeared in comics. Spiderman was created by Stan lee and artist Steve Dikto.
This particular shot is a Medium shot showing the two main characters Spiderman and venom (Tobey Mguire and Topher Grace). Although it shows both of the main characters it zooms into Spiderman more, with all the attention on him showing the audience that he is the star of the movie. The film Spiderman follows the action conventions of having a 'good guy' who wants to save the world, and a 'bad guy' who wants to stop him.
The Venom wears a black costume to connote the idea of Danger and Death, whereas Spiderman is wearing a bright red costume which connotes Saviour and Hero. The reason why they are wearing these colours is to give the audience an idea of danger and mystery.
