Analysis of Black Panther Opening Scene Breakdown

Here's my breakdown from 2:15 - 4:15 2:16 — Close on TV in apartment living room, eye level, diagetic light and sound, sound offscreen external.  2:18 — Close on guns, a map, and BART schedule on a dining room table, angle eye level, diagetic light, diagetic sound offscreen external.  2:23 — MCU of Zuri’s face and N’Jobu’s hand moving props, angle low, diagetic light, diagetic sound offscreen external. 2:24 —  MCU of N’Jobu looking at table, Zuri’s head is cut off at the hair line , angle eye level, diagetic light, diagetic sound onscreen external.

This probably indicates that someones closing in on him.  ***The following is a SERIES OF SHOTS (SOS) put together to show the viewer the order from N’Jobu to put away the weapons.  2:32 — Close on Zuri’s hands grabbing guns from dining room table, angle eye level, diagetic light, diagetic sound onscreen external.  2:33-34 is comprised of 2 shots with a shot reverse shot edit. 1. MCU of Zuri placing the guns on a shelf and covering them with a false wall. 2. MCU of N’Jobu covering a bulletin board with a tapestry, angle eye level, diagetic light, diagetic sound onscreen external. *** END SERIES OF SHOTS 2:36 — MCU of N’Jobu peering through a blind looking out a window, angle eye level, front lit from the street lamp diagetic light, diagetic sound onscreen external. 2:39 — LS of N’Jobu’s POV high angle of the street looking at the kids play B-ball, street lamp diagetic light, diagetic sound onscreen external 2:48 — MCU of N’Jobu looking at the door, angle eye level, front lit diagetic light, diegetic sound offscreen external SFX: DOOR KNOCK.  2:57 — MS of N’jobu talking to Zuri at the door with a shot reverse shot edit.  ***Here for some reason, even though we see the ceiling, N’Jobu commands the space rather than being trapped by it. Almost as if he was prepared for this moment.  3:12-21 — MS of Zuri opening the door with an over the shoulder shot with the 2 Dora Warriors flanking the camera. The camera then tracks them into the room.  3:21— MCU the Dora warriors stand in profile.

SFX: WARBLE 3:40 — CU of the Black Panther, angle eye level, diagetic light, diagetic sound onscreen external. 3:41-48 — MS of N’Jobu kneeling and hitting Zuri to do the same. Angle Low, diagetic light, diagetic sound onscreen external. 3:53 — MCU of Black Panther. Angle eyline match, diagetic light, diagetic sound onscreen external. ***In this sequence, it is established that N’Jobu’s fear/reverence is that of the Black Panther. The angle of shots of the exchange is that regarding a king and his subject.  4:01 — MS Black Panther removing mask with flanking dora warriors to reveal…King T’chaka, N’Jobu’s brother.  4:10-13 MCU of N’Jobu and T’chaka sharing an embrace.
