Film intro analysis
The intro to 'Austin Powers International Man Of Mystery' is very effective in the way that it sets the pace for the rest of the film. The use of non diegetic music which is upbeat and funky shows how Austin is portrayed as an upbeat character. The bright clothing is typical of the 60s and we can immediately tell that the film is not set in the present day. the character is shown dancing up and down the street and we see from magazine covers and the women chasing him he is a widely recognised figure.
The camera shots used are visually dynamic and they portray a sense of happiness, as we are greeted by a tilt shop up from Austin's feet which makes him look mischievous and we can tell that he is the protagonist.
We see from the policeman who begins to dance next to Austin that he is a contagious character and towards the end of the clip we see he even dons his own catchphrase of "yeah baby"
