Opening Scene of Contrast


Terminator 2 Opening Scene.


Misc en SceneThe setting of this scene is based around a very desolate wasteland which there is clearly a lot of visible damage. For the first 40 seconds of the opening scene theres very low lighting. This emits a very dark and gloomy image and also portrays an eerie effect.

CameraCamera shots show a very strong view of the robots as they are shot from below the robots to give a more menacing prescence.

Sound
There are lots sounds that add to the effect of the explosions and lasers. Horrific cries that are coming from humans emit the fear and dominance of the robots over the humans.

EditingThe lighting after 40 seconds suddenly starts to change. Special effects that represent laser gunshots coming from CGI robots light up the skyline in the foreground and background. Bright flashing explosions also appear in the background.
