Film Project Research- Wonder Woman

Image result for wonder womanThe beginning of the film is actually a flash forward to what happens after the rest of the movie. It opens with a fad-in onto Earth, then zooming in. Throughout the zoom-in, there is a voice over of Wonder Woman which includes incidental music. When it finishes zooming in, landing on The Louvre in France, it cuts to a track shot of Wonder Woman walking. The costume design has Wonder Woman wearing a sweater with a long back that gives the implication of a cape, implying that she is Wonder Woman and is a hero even in casual clothing.

A car then drives up with "Wayne Enterprises" on the side. The car comes into the scene and blocks the original focus of the shot, which was Wonder Woman. Two people get out of the car and go to the back, where they pull our a briefcase that also says "Wayne Enterprises." The camera remains close up on the briefcase, having it take up most of the screen composition.

The color design is mostly grey tones, such as the glass of The Louvre and the large ponds. This gives the outside of the building a cold and sanitary feeling, implying that Wonder Woman has integrated into society and its clinical feeling. This contrasts with the next scene back in her birthplace, which uses warm tones to contrast the opening.

The scene changes with a graphic match, going from a picture of Wonder Woman to a scene of her as a child. The picture of her fades into the one of her as a child with them being in the same location among the screens composition. This helps the viewer immediately understand that this younger child is Wonder Woman even though she is younger and being called Diana.

The film doesn't have any opening credits, only displaying the DC company intro. The film has a budget of 149 million USD and grossed 800 million USD. The film won many awards including the Golden Trailer Award for Best of Show and Best Fantasy Adventure and the Teen Choice Award for best action film, actor and actress.
