Analysis of Film Opening: Comedy

To help give ideas for the kind of genre I would like to do for my final film, I decide to analyse different genre film openings to know what I should do for my film if I choose this genre. This is the opening titles for the film Step Brothers (2008)

The genre of this continous piece is clearly a comedy, we can tell this by the up beat tone and music. The editing is slow paced connoting it to be  relaxing enjoyable film. the non-diegetic sound makes the piece already happy which is what a comedy aims to do. Camera angles used are close ups connoting it obvious to what is happening, also the use of low angles makes the introduction of the characters to be significant. The mise-en-scene such as the blue shirt and junk food connotes it to be funny and interesting. The characters are obviously going to be about 2 families perhaps merging into one because of the introduction. The titles are integrated around the scene to make us see whats happening in the scene making us more interested.Character
