The Amazing Spider-Man (2002)

The Amazing Spider-Man (2002)
The Hero& His Special abilities:
In The Amazing Spider-Man film, there are various common features of a superhero film used. Spider-man is the hero in this comic; he has the special ability to climb walls like spider, he also has super strength and agility. He uses his extrodinary powers to fight crime and defeat the evil villain ( Green Goblin).
Backstory/Alter ego:

He experiences lots of changes over the night, and wakes up a superhero. From then, he has an alter ego, meaning that he has a 2nd identity!
Costume: 
When fighting crime, Spirderman wears a red and blue costume. The colour red can portray danger however it can also imply love. I believe that both of these descriptions suit Spiderman. He wears a mask to keep his identity as Peter Parker a secret. The spider on his chest reflects his super powers.
Setting:
Image result for amazing spider man in the citySpiderman was set in New York City; an extreme long shot was used for us to establish this. Also, the majority of the scenes in Spiderman are set in the city, often outdoors when he is spiderman, but in his home as Peter Parker.
Lighting:
Often when Spiderman is fighting crime, there is low key lighting to imply action and gives the scene a tense atmosphere. Also it can make characters look mysterious by highlighting and shading certain sections on their body and face. On the other hand, the scenes involving Peter Parker are usually set in daytime therefore there is usually high key lighting. High key lighting shows a calmer atmosphere.
Diegetic/Non-diegetic Sound:
In the film, there is not much non-diegetic sound; some scenes had background music, but not many. However, a lot of diegetic sound is used. An example of this is gun shots and punching to portray action.
Camera shots:
In the amazing Spider-man, multiple camera shots are used. Low angle shots are used to make spiderman look bigger and powerful. A two shot was used when Spiderman and MJ kiss to establish their relationship. When Spiderman first gets his powers, an extreme close up on his rists was used to establish where his powers where coming from and what they are.
Villain:
The Green Goblin is the villain of this comic. He uses his powers to hurt and kill people. He wears a green metalic costume with yellow glowing, evil-looking eyes, to suggest that he is the villain. His special power is the ability to fly and shoot bolts of energy from his hands. Throughout the film Green Goblin attempts to kill Spiderman, but he fails to do so.
