Analyse Film Openings

Mean Girls
The opening scene of mean girls shows a girl who used to be home schooled moving to a high school. It starts off with her parents talking to her, looking down at her. They show this in a two person shot. It then does an over the shoulder shot of her standing up. The camera movement throughout the opening scene is mostly panning.

The Hangover
The film opening to the hangover starts off with showing us the wedding venue and the bride worrying about where her husband to be is. The opening the goes onto a Close-up of a man on the phone, the man says the Bachelor party got out of the control and they 'F***ed up' and lost the man who is due to be getting married. He then says the wedding will probably not happen. The titles then start and it makes you want to carry on watching in suspence to know what happened that may make the wedding not happen, and where the lost man actually is.

Step-brothers
The opening sequence of 'Step-brothers' shows a women and her son at home, and then a man and his son at home. It then cuts to the man and women meeting in what seems to be a work conference. I think this is shown to show the two families coming together which makes the viewer want to keep watching to find out what will happen.
