The Opening Scene of Barbie

The Opening scene is dramatic and shows the scale of going from baby dolls to barbie.

The Use of Framing

The scene uses multible types of compositions and framing like wide shots, central framing, strong sense of scale and the characters appering small compared to the enviroment.

The framing makes the scene feel dramatic because it creates the scale that barbie larger compared to the children and especially compared to the other dolls especially in the shot of barbies legs

The Music and Tone

The music feels dramatic which tells the audience the large scale of change from going from a regular doll to a barbie doll. Overall the tone of the opening is dramatic because of the use of music, scale, envroment, and weather.

The Overall Review of the Opening

I believe Barbie opens like this because it wants the audience to understand the scale of change between the dolls and how at the time this was an huge change to the doll industry. Also it introduces the main character to the movie in a dramatic and scenic way.
