It was a co-production of Dark Castle and Warner Brothers
We being with an audio bridge as we fad into the setting
The logo's are branded on the walls of the set
The audio bridge is a voice over, social class is represented stereotypically with what appears to be a tough guy signified by the fact he is shirtless and smoking a drug this is voiced over by a southern accent of an old man, the toughness is a stereotype of southern characters if using the commutation test a younger female voice was used it would signify a Rom Com not an action film
The framing of the characters, mise en scene and use of wipe cuts signifies that this is like a comic book as the narrative comes from
We initially only see the back of the antagonists head, his shiny shoes and his jewelry this polysemy creates narrative enigma then we see his face
Their is an establishing shot of the building
The disequilibrium is signified by the 2 men who can't afford to pay the money
This would have an audience between 15-25 and male although their is no male gaze
Normally in romcom's there are 3 main characters and the central protagonist has to choose between the other 2 to date in this case the 3rd character is the dog
It had a $60 million budget
There are 40 seconds of credits this would have to be shorter in out opening
The male voice over signifies that he is the protagonist
The audience is mislead as the the protagonist because there is a boy on screen as we hear the voice over therefore we assume he the voice over is the boy but he's not
We begin with a long establishing takes of the the field
We then cut to shorter takes of the dog chasing the protagonist
The pace of the chase is reflected by the rock music this appeals to a teenage audience
The protagonist provides exposition in his voice over
The next seen involves a woman in a wedding dress this appeals to the male gaze and man in a suit drinking from the bottle which signifies that they have got married and come back after the party
They are dressed and in an elaborate setting which signifies they are upper class a stereotypical positive view of America
This film is rated PG so is for a wide age range of audience
