Scene Description
The Fifth Element is probably one of, if not, my favorite movie. To me The Fifth Element is one of those movies that if let’s say I was stranded on a deserted island, and I could bring one movie with me to watch for the rest of my life, I would chose to bring this one. There are many fantastically crafted scenes in The Fifth Element, scenes of comedy and action, science fiction and fantasy, even nods to adventure and history, but no scene sets the stage like the first twelve minutes or so of the movie basically lay down the entire backbone of what you can expect the setting and story of the movie to be like. The movie opens with a shot of what appears as the viewer flying through an asteroid belt, then the name of the movie is revealed, cutting to the viewer hovering in space with a blue and white planet being visible above. The camera pans and rotates and an alien spaceship slowly inches itself onto the scene. We as the viewer are immediately aware that the movie that we are about to watch is based in science fiction. But looking closer, the ship that enters the frame, looks run down, ancient, almost biological, and it’s making its way towards what appears to be earth. An asteroid flickers through the black night sky backdrop, shimmering with stars, and the camera pans down towards the planet. Split seconds later we discover that the planet is, in fact, earth, and that we are in Egypt in the year 1914. Immediately we have a juxtaposition of the old and new, the ancient mystical element and the futuristic science fiction that we were presented with moments ago. The scene continues to show a small child, no more than 10, riding in on a donkey towards what appears to be some sort of mountain cave. This is an example of enamation speech and diegetic sound. As the child approaches they begin to understand that it is in fact an archeological site being uncovered, something like a temple or shrine. He is greeted by other children
