Children's Film: Star Wars IV (Opening Sequence)

The film starts with pitch black as intense music plays to build up the tension. A space ship slowly moves into the frame and shows it being shot at by another ship. this sets the scene and informs the audience of what is happening.

The action is then shown on board as troops run around with guns. They are all dresses the same to show they are organized and well equipped. the inside is white and clean which would suggest it is the 'goodies' ship. there is then a clip of two robots (R2 and C3PO) C3PO has a friendly voice and looks kind. this reinforces the idea the ships is full of good people who are under attack.
