Hulk

Analysis of Title Sequence- Hulk

In todays lesson we watched and disscused the title sequence for ''The Incredible Hulk''. The sequence starts off in some kind of lab or hospital, we can say this because we see pictures of an x-ray and loads of machinery. The first thing that we see on screen is a danger sign in red, this immediately tells the audience what the genre is about because associate danger with action movies. The first character we see is Bruce Banner in a chair with machinery moving around him and lazers pointing at him. The next character we see is Betty Ross on the other side of the glass separating Bruce from everyone else. We can tell these two characters are close or know each other well when Bruce winks at her whilst in the chair, Betty is also looking worried showing that sh obviously cares about him and his safety.

We get a point of view of Bruce sitting in the chair looking at Betty who is walking towards the glass looking worried. Whilst she is walking forward the machine slowly moves in the cameras way blocking our view of betty. This could suggest that this is the last time she see's just Bruce and not the Hulk. This is an important time in the film because this is the rebirth of Bruce as now he is not just Bruce but the Hulk.

In the next scene we see Bruce banner in a new setting behind glass trying to escape. As he hits the glass his eyes turn green, this shows that his transformation into the hulk has begun. In the transitions from scene to scene there is a green pulse of DNA looking substance across the screen, this likely represents Bruce as the hulk as the conventional colour for the hulk is green. The soundtrack begins to increase and a sense of horror is added in. Whilst this is happening a quick montage of DNA pulses and scenes of Bruce's green eyes is played. This all leads into the HULK being revealed to the audiane for the first time.

Later in the clip we see a point of view from the HULK trashing the lab and hitting people out of the way. This is the begginging of the chaos in the film. From this shot we see the HULK looking at Betty who is on the floor badly injured and passed out, the camera then cuts to a flash back where we are still in a point of view but of Bruce not the HULK, we see him looking at Betty. They seem like they are in bed, this tells the audience a bit about the two charachters past. This also shows that Bruce cares deeply for Betty even when he is the HULK.
