Comparing the atmosphere of 2 action movie openings

http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/captain-america-the-first-avenger/

The first film I am going to analyse is 'Captain America' this film is based on the marvel comic 'Captain America' its an action thriller film which depicts a normal man turned into a superhero by an experiment gone wrong who is then sent out to fight the Nazis.

The opening sequence of this film really gets you into the war atmosphere with the cartoon style drawing planes and guns firing and the famous picture of the women with her sleeves rolled up and her hand on her bicep. By using drawings the film also makes you relate back to the comic and the situations captain america would get himself into.

The music of the sequence relates a lot to the plot as there is a constant marching beat in the background where as the overlaid trumpets represents valiance almost like the american national anthem.

The final scene of the sequence is the Captain America logo printed on a rip effect almost badge like a soldier would sew onto his uniform which again relates to the plotline of the film.
