Spiderman
       

    One of Kyle Coopers most famous and most recognisable pieces of work is his opening sequence for Spiderman. 

    His choice of music from the very beginning of the sequences captures the audience's attention straight away.  The upbeat but almost sinister feel of the music indicates that it is going to be some sort of thriller/ action film.  The input of the Marvel logo at the beginning also shows the audience where the original idea for the film came from.

    Cooper uses spider webs as his main feature throughout the sequence, with his camera moving in and through different angles of the webs.  He does this not only for obvious reasons, but also because it is a very simple idea and yet very effective, there isn't too much going on and yet people understandthe concept of the film. 

    There is a big build up in the music, as 'Spiderman' is shown within one of the webs, upon this happening the music then begins to speed up and everything becomes a bit more frantic.

    There is a very obvious colour scheme consisting of Red Silver and Blue, within the sequence. these have been used intentionally as they are the colours that Spidermans's outfit consists of.

    Cooper has used a very simplistic concept to his opening sequence which has proved very effective, especially when it comes down to names of cast member and the production teams.  The names are written in a large white font and are very obvious of the screen as there isn't much going on in the background.  This allows the audience to appreciate more who was involved in the making of the film and, as there are some very big names involved. 

At one point there is an image of Spiderman bringing his head up and out of the darkness.  This has been used to show the audience that Spiderman with rise and fight of any evil the prevails.  We also get to see this evil as there in then an image of the Green Goblin's face, you can tell he is evil because half of his face is shadowed.

Finally, towards the end Cooper adds in some buildings to his sequence.  This enables the audience to see where the movie is probably going to be set; New York.
