I have chosen to look at the first 2 minutes of the hilariously, cheesy and girlie movie- 'Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging'. the opening creates a very heart warming and funny atmosphere which draws the audience in. seeing Georgia make a fool of herself by dressing as a stuffed olive while all the other dress in flattering outfits, this makes the audience feel sorry for her however it doesn’t kill the mood as everybody watching agrees she looks stupid. This kind of humour is ideal for the opening scene as it gives a good idea about the main character and what she is like.
It’s obvious who the main character is from the start as the camera follows her as she walks (panning) to the party that focuses on her as soon as she arrives. The film is set in Eastbourne as shown throughout the opening. The camera angles help to create the setting as it has a high angle shot of Georgia running home in her ridiculous costume passing many old people giving her funny looks.
There is a lot of non-diegetic sound where there is dialogue etc. however there is a point where music begins to create another mood and theme.
