Tyson: the movie opening

The text in the title is flames like his burning career but can also be the flames of passion for boxing. They uses the music from Rocky which is a boxing movie, iconic also showing how similar they are to each other in both ways their careers started out. There is a close up shot reverse shot face off between a young Tyson and his opponent to build up tension. The opening credits are rainbow coloured they seem childish like he feels vulnerable like a child or wants his innocence again. Introduction to the main person by the use of split screens like his several thoughts he has and wanting to get them all out as soon as they come to mind as the speaking overlaps, all of them are at different angles like he has been put under the microscope and being dissected and this is what has been extracted. There are some pictures of him reflecting by the beach as though thinking about things so he can say it on camera, bring himself back to the times. The sun shining on his face as it rises or falls is making us look at how his face has aged not just from time but the life he has had. There is no music when he speaks to show the importance of his words and how you must listen. Close up and medium shots so you concentrate on just him and see his expressions as he is telling the story. On some medium shots you notice that there are lots of cushions showing they are offering comfort and protection after a hard life and taking a battering. There is archive picture from the side close up and him now at a similar angle showing us a before and after showing the difference time has made. Cut to an archive footage clip to show how he spoke and look when he was younger and how he handled the spot light and interviews. Cut to juvenile gates closing darkened by the camera because you could see that it was daylight it creates a mood and a dark atmosphere and a diegetic sound of gate. This is when he is telling us one of his dark moments in his life and how his childhood. There is footage of his hometown it is quite fast like it is filmed from a car and it is so bad they want to just film it and get out, there is no signs telling us where it is so it could be filmed somewhere else but it is giving us a feel of what his childhood neighbourhood was like.
