The genre of Mission Impossible Rogue Nation is a spy movie
which caters to younger audiences and middle aged males. The credits in the
opening sequence are presented with explosions to make the names seem more
dramatic, the orange sparks and flames come from the fuse which is burning
which may run out once the film starts and also represents that someone might
be running out of time. The production company is one of the big six of
Hollywood, Paramount Pictures. The colours are mostly orange to represent fire
and excitement and the overall mise-en-scene contains many gadgets and spy
equipment. There is combat in the opening in small clips and right at the start
we see the heroic protagonist being pulled out of a plane on a giant cargo pallet
where he will fall for thousands of feet. Some of the gadgets include high tech
contact lenses, guns and computers. The classic mission impossible theme tune
is in the movie opening as always which is a fast paced song which moves as
fast as the cuts in the movie. All of the main characters are shown in action
either, using a spy gadget or in combat, the villainous antagonist is shown
with a gun pointed with an angry face, which is how I know he is the
antagonist.
These observations show a firm grasp of your ability to deconstruct visual codes of the action adventure genre. You make reference to opening sequence conventions.
