Cinematography

 

1) In the opening scene, we can see an extreme close-up of the back of the main character. As the camera pans out and turns into a medium shot, we can see the main character is exercising in a cold, dark environment. A high angle shot from the ceiling reveals to the audience that he's stuck in a small, confined prison cell, and the high angle shot reveals just how claustrophobic it is. Various medium close-up and close-up shots show our character training while still in prison, as flashbacks appear on-screen showcasing his former glory. A couple flashbacks later, the show transitions back to current day, revealing the setting of the story in a crane shot and extreme long shot.

2) The camerawork and acting tell our audience right from the bat that our character has a strong will and never gives up, seeing as he's still training in a small cage, restricted from any freedom whatsoever. The camerawork when they reveal the main setting shows it to be quite glamarous and luxurious, as we see bright lights and lots of characters in a bustling environment.

3) The long shot/medium shot of Iron Man walking away from the explosion re-iterates to the audience on his status as a superhero. The actor, with his costume damaged and torn, fearlessly walks away from imminent danger that would fatally harm anyone normal. The camera here is also focused on Iron Man, and has the explosion/background blurred away, as they're trying to make him the main focus to the audience.
