Wedding Crashers

The film starts as with a voice over of a couple arguing. This sets the scene as when you see Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn you can see that they are trying to sort out a divorce. Both the main characters look bored as if they heard this every day which makes it look like they don't enjoy there job. The couple keep arguing as the camera cuts to a mid shot of the woman (wife) as she says "I hate you!" this is to show the anger in her face and then again the camera cuts onto the man (husband) who also looks angry but more laid back. The camera angles are mainly mid shots and the pace is quite slow as there aren't many cuts. Having the shouting makes the pace seem faster. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are obviously the main characters and as they are trying to sort out the divorce they start talking about the wedding. This part is where it classifies the genre as a comedy. The couple then resolve the problem and a non diagetic sound track comes up as the titles come up. the sound track it fast and has a happy tone. It also sounds as though it would be the sort of this you might hear at a Weeding. As the title comes up, the picture fades in which is an establishing long shot.
