anaylsis of an opening sequence - Date Movie
Date movie is a teenage movie and the opening sequence shows this. It is stereotypical but because it is a spoof it's really over exaggerated. The narrative is shown in the first couple of minutes as an unlucky - in - love 20ish year old and how she wants to find the perfect man. This is made clear from the very beginning because it's a shot of a dream wedding which goes horribly wrong when the main character realises that the man she is about to marry is really ugly and a geek. Teenagers can relate to this becuase they are stereotypical thought of as shallow and superficial so their worst nightmare would be to marry someone ugly.
The characters show its a teen movie and a spoof because it flips the stereotype of a pretty, slim, blonde girl and instead uses a fat ginger girl as the main character. You know she is the main character because she is in the shot the whole time.
The sequence is also based on numerous well known teen movies, which also helps teens relate to the film.
