Analysis of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Scene.

Analysis of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Krennic meets Vader.

Technical Codes

One technical code seen within this scene is the use of a slight zoom when Vader uses the force to choke director Krennic. This helps to show us the shock on Krennic's face as he realises that he cannot breathe and we can see the fear on his face. This also reminds us that Vader is a threat, even to those on the same side as him. 

Another example of a technical code used is an over-the-shoulder shot when Vader confronts Director Krennic about the use of the Death Star on the City of Jedha. The purpose of this shot is to display how Darth Vader towers over Krennic in both stature but also in authority. 

A third technical code is the use of a downward tilt when Krennic walks into a chamber, this shows us the grandness of Vader's castle and how high the ceilings are in this one room. It could also be used as an establishing shot to set the scene for their confrontation.
The scene uses a long shot when the door which Vader is behind lifts up, this is to help with the understanding of the set and show the audience the grandness of Vader's castle.
A final technical code used in the scene is a circular tracking shot of the two characters on a platform where they are having their conversation. This has a similar purpose as a long shot. It is used to display more of the setting and to also make the audience feel more involved in the action

Visual Codes 

A visual code used within this scene is the costumes of both Vader and Krennic. Vader's costume is black and technologically advanced whilst Krennic's costume is white and plain, with the exception of his cape. The purpose of this is to display their binary opposition, despite being them both being on the side of the Empire they oppose each other. Vader in fact opposes the Death Star and finds it a waste of the Empire's money and time whilst Krennic, director of the entire Death Star project saw it as entirely necessary.

A second visual code is the use of the colour black used in Darth Vader's castle and his costume. Black has connotations of evil and death, both characteristics perfectly reflected by vader himself.
Another visual code of colour in the scene is the fact that Krennic wears white. White has connotations of perfection which matches with Director Krennic's need for perfection of his project, the Death Star.
A minor visual code seen is the iconography of the door which Vader exits from. The door itself is the same trapezium shape as the vent on Vader's helmet, the meaning of this is to show that this fortress is indeed Vader's and was built specifically for him.
Towards the end of the scene Vader uses a pointing gesture towards Krennic in whilst ordering him to not fail again, this is to show Vader's anger towards Krennic as his mask shrouds his face. 

Audio Codes

An audio code used in this scene is music, specifically a slower rendition of John William's Imperial March that has come to represent Darth Vader, the music is intimidating, as to reflect how intimidating Darth Vader himself is. It is played before we even see Vader in his suit and thus informs us that we will see the sith lord in all his glory.
Another audio code heard within this scene is the sound effect heard when Vader force chokes Krennic. It sounds as if the air is being forced from his lungs. The effect of this is to inform us that he is being choked as the sound effect is notorious in the Star Wars films and is memorable.
Finally the most important audio code used in this scene is dialogue between Darth Vader and Director Krennic, this is used to convey the thoughts and feelings of both characters involved in the scene and to inform the audience about what it occurring.
