Effect (analysis)

Camera – distance, angle, movement…

Pans over a cartoon-like city, birds eye view over the city extreme high angle, swift gliding movements, tilting
Background to film: comic book, gliding movements describes how the ‘daredevil’ moves

Editing – speed, style…

Fairly slow, fade out.
Creates a sort of ‘in-human’ theme to it, graceful

Sound – effects, musical score…

Non diagetic, slow paced, fits with scene.
Background music is calm, but builds tension.


Mise-en-scene – props, costume, setting, lighting, colour…

Starts with ‘comic book’ and marvel logo, religion is present with first bit of film, character introduced- setting church
Shows the importance of religion to main character, even if he lives without it, he tries to do the right thing.

Special Effects – CGI, animation…

Text is animated, seems to be made out of lights, city zooms out when text appears, text seems to move/blur.
Main character is blind, introduction of how he sees things.

Titles – font, color, placement, over black / over clip…

Screen goes black with text over it in white, text moves side to side, ‘daredevil’ is in red, with a red and white background to it.
Black: evil, darkness.
Red: devil, love, passion.
White: purity, heavenly.
All come together.
