Opening Sequence

The first 3 minutes are the opening sequence.

The opening sequence starts as most films do with the production company 'Columbia Pictures'. The titles appear over an establishing shot of a beach in the sun set. They are light blue which makes them look like water also with the effect they look a bit like waves. As the camera pans across the beach, a pineapple appears as the screen fades into a kitchen and the pineapple is in the table and the title comes up. This effect is very clever as the pineapple doesn't change but the screen around it does. Then the camera is on a mid-shot of 2 women talking about a man. There is then a sequence of quick cuts and and lots of woman talking about this one man. The camera is always moving which makes pace seem fast. The music is very upbeat and has a happy tone but it is non diagetic as you wouldnt be able to hear it if you were in the scene. When all the women and one man mention the same name it shows that he is going to be the main character.
