50 First Dates

I HAVE ANALYSED THE FIRST 3 MINUTES 

As soon as the clip starts a big institution "Columbia Pictures" appears, showing the audience this has been a huge production to make and know that "Columbia Pictures" are successful with their films they distribute. The music that starts is Hawaiian and has holiday feel to it making it a relaxing and calm atmosphere to start with, the images of the sun setting on the beach makes the setting of the film look like paradise, it is a very romantic feel to it showing the romantic side of the film. It matches the music with the splashing of the waves as it is set on an island and the Hawaiian music adds to the setting and atmosphere of the beginning

The title of the film "50 first dates". The "50" is in red this can connote love and romance, while the word "first" matches the other opening credits of the film of an edit of waves and the colour blue, this can connote calmness, but as the writing is wavy suggests that these dates are going to more difficult then they seem and possible problem are going to occur when on them. The word "dates" is in white connoting innocence of the main characters. The conversation between the two female characters continues over the starting music, but when one of the women says "I met this guy" the non-digetic music becomes more louder and fun, this can suggest that the person that they are talking to makes them feel this way when they see them or mention their name. The clip cuts between numerous women talking about the character Harry Roth, this shows the audience about the unknown characters personality and how he treats women, by being with a number of women while they are on holiday and treating them so well. It then brings the element of comedy when they discuss why they can never speak to him again, they bring up a number of funny excuses that he has told them eg. "he doesn't believe in phones" 
After the number of clips stop, the music stops and has a women saying "Henry Roth" we are then introduced to the main character, at this point he is giving this particular women another excuse why they can never see each other again. He is wearing a floral, busy and bright red shirt suggesting to the audience he is a loud and bubbly person, also keeps with the theme of a Hawaiian setting. Again the comedy comes through when he jumps on the jet ski and hurts himself as it is ridiculous with what he has just done to get away from this person. 
When going off on the jet ski the Hawaiian music begins again, it is cheery and fun, showing what this film is going to be like. 




I think by adding a theme song that immediately shows the audience the setting of the film is effective as then they know instantly where the film is going to be set even when they haven't been told, it shows the season, weather and country that they are in which also shows something about the characters and what maybe where they live or going to be during the film.
