This is the opening sequence to Legally Blonde. This is a 3 minute sequence and for this post i will be sharing my main points.
*Firstly we are shown the production trade mark which is Metro Goldwyn Mayer.
*Looking at the opening the main character's identity is hidden having the audience guessing.
*The music starts on time with the video. Which is (perfect day)
*The music and the credits give the audience what type of genre the film is because the titles and credits are bright pink. The genre is rom com. The gender is aimed at girls.
*Straight away the director is giving the audience tips to who this mysterious person could be. This is done by using an envelope.
* We are then shown a parallel scene between the girl combing her hair and another girl riding a bike.
* Focusing on the girl riding the bike, the camera is panning her through out the bike ride, and we are shown a point of view shot a few times.
*Focusing on the main character, each shot is a close up indicating to us that she is the main character as her identity is hidden
* The director very cleverly shows us that the envelope belongs to the hidden character because on her table her name is written, and so the audience should know that the main characters name is Elle.
* The camera is then tracking the sub-character holding the envelope
*We are then shown the banner saying 'homecoming queen' and now audience will gather an understanding.
* The shot i liked was a bird-eye view of the the person holding the envelope.
