Star Wars: A New Hope
From the opening of the movie, we can see a space like background and the words are coming from the bottom of the screen disappearing upwards. In the first scene we see spaceships fighting in outer space, which demonstrates how it is definetly a science fiction movie. When Darth Vader appears, you automatically know he is evil by his all black suit that he wears. On the other hand, Princess leah is obviously the good one because she is in all white, these are very visual indicators that were done purposefully by the director. The costumes of each character demonstrate their significance to the plot and the backgrounds from where they came.
From the beginning of the movie we see a lot of visual affects with the gunfire. Obviously with all the different costumes for the different characters, there are strong visuals everywhere. There are also different cars that are similar to hovercraft. Than we get introduced to the light saber, which looks similar to a sword except the blade is a laser. One of the most interesting scenes in the movie is when Obe One Konobe and Luke go to a bar in order to find a pilot(Han Solo) and the collection of different creatures and species they stumble on. The costumes for all the different types of creatures is incredible and very unique. One of the intriguing characters is Jaba the Hut who looks like a huge green blob.
The special effects in this movie are unbelievable. The visual scene when the empire’s death star is blowing up the planet Aldaron is a visual masterpiece. The basis for the entire movie is the visuals used in the movie. One of the great visual scenes of the movie is the light saber fight between the darth vader and Obe one konobe, darth’s light saber is red while obe one’s is blue, which has a much more positive connotation attached to it, therefore the movie visually shows who is on the good side and who is on the bad side. The visual effects of one of the last scenes in the movie where the rebel forces blow up the death star happens to also be visually breathtaking.
