Top Gun legendary opening scene and credits

Top gun opens with slow motion movement of men walking on an airfield, there are shots of air craft moving into position to take off. You can not see the characters appearance or face due to the dark lighting, this could mean they are either too important too see or not a significant character in this film. The light changes when the planes are taking off, you see the flight instructors when the plane engine turns on, the camera focuses on his face for a second and switches to flicking images of planes moving around and flight instructors ordering the planes where to go. There are many long shots and close up shots of the pilots faces, these would represent them as important in this film and a main part in the flight process. There is many non-Diegetic and Diegetic sounds in this opening, for example at the start of the film there is music in the background, themed like Vietnam army music. There is non-diegetic sounds such as the planes and the sound of the engine turning on. The lighting comes from dark to light which could mean the producer wants you to focus on what you can see first, then adjust to the surroundings. There is a combat scene later in the film which is very chaotic there are many long shots of the planes and close up shots of the machine guns shooting. There are close up shots of the navy men in the ship reporting back to the pilot. There's another close up shot of the rockets being shot then followed until the enemies plane has been shot.
