Roughly 30
years after the destruction of the Death Star; ex-stormtrooper Finn (John
Boyega) finds himself turning on the First Order after coming to the
realisation that he was fighting for the wrong side all along. He escapes from
the first order via a TIE Fighter with a prisoner captured by the first empire
known as Poe Dameron. After being chased by opposing TIE Fighters Finn and his
comrade Poe crash land on the desert planet known as Jakku. Finn manages to make
it out of the ship in one piece but Poe is nowhere to be seen and is presumed
to be dead by Finn. Shortly after crash landing on Jakku; Finn discovers a
young girl known as Rey (Daisy Ridley) and realises that she is the one in
possession of the BB-8 droid that has a map leading directly to Luke Skywalker
which the first order have been looking for relentlessly.
The pair
then quickly leave Jakku in the infamous millennium falcon after being attacked
by the First Order who have gained wind of the location of the BB-8 droid and
who has possession of it. The owners of the millennium falcon; Han Solo and
Chewbacca the track the ship down and get on board to discover that it has been
hijacked by Finn and Rey. After discovering that they are the ones who have possession
of the map leading to Luke Skywalker; the four of them decide to team up to
find Luke Skywalker and take down the first order to restore balance to the
galaxy.
Rey then
stumbles upon the actual lightsaber that belongs to Luke Skywalker and his father
before him. She is then told to take it with her on her journey to find Luke
Skywalker and to return it to him once she finds him. However, the mission is
halted after Kylo Ren; the leader of the first order takes it upon himself to
steal the map to Luke Skywalker to use for his own evil gain and to put a stop
to Rey and Finn’s mission all together. Rey and Finn finally encounter Kylo Ren
in person whilst on board the Star Killer Base and engage in lightsaber combat
using Luke’s lightsaber. Finn is first up against Kylo Ren but is quickly defeated
after getting slashed in the back and it is Rey who steps up to the plate and
takes it upon herself to defeat Kylo Ren. After a long winded lightsaber duel
it is Rey who ends up on top and Finn and Rey can then continue with their
journey to Luke Skywalker…
‘Village
scene’ analysis
This is one of the first shots from
the ‘village scene’. It is a close up of the storm trooper’s helmets and shows
them standing in line in a shuttle. The lighting and sound are both grim and
moody and the whole scene generally depicts a very dark amotsphere.
Soon after the previous shot, a wide
shot of the shuttles coming in is featured in the next scene. The dramatic
lighting and thunderous sounds create a tone of panic and drama which prepares
viewers for some form of conflict to take place.
A wide shot of the camp coming under
fire is then included within the scene. This shot uses vibrant colour to
highlight the danger and a dark background to help users see where the danger
is. It continues with its dramatic, but dark lighting and sound but seemingly
slightly ups the panic levels
Soon after the scene begins to pan into a medium shot, showing a conflicted stormtrooper reflecting on the actions on those around him which creates a sudden sympathetic tone. However, the dramatic sound and lighting ensure users that the drama is still going on outside of this shot.
The end of the scene takes a more
mellow turn as a medium-wide shot of BB-8 rolling away into the distance is
shown shortly after the conflict has stopped. Although the lighting is still
dark and grim, the mellow sound is what assures users that conflict has
finished, which gives viewers time to sympathise with what BB-8 has had to
witness.
