Film Opening :Angus, Thongs and perfect snogging



In the beginning of this film opening we can see from 0:00 to 0:20 seconds the paramount logo can be seen on the screen. the movie sound track starts between this at 0:15 seconds and continues until 1:01. after the first logo has appeared on the screen, Nickelodeon movies logo then appears straight after lasting between 0:20 to 0:33 seconds. At this point the film starts and the dialogue comes in 2 seconds later  at 0:35 seconds which last until 1:57. The film continues to play and at 0:50 seconds the words ' Paramount Pictures International and Nickelodeon movies presents' appear on the screen which last 3 seconds. At 0:54 the words 'a Gurinda Chadha film' appears on the screen letting the audience know that this film was directed by her.Tthis last for 4 seconds until 0:58. At 1:01 (as above said) the soundtrack stops and at 1:06 it starts again up until 1:24, when backing music can be heard from a radio/CD player in the background of the scene which stops at 1:50. 1 seconds later and the well known pop song 'She's So Lovely' by Scouting For girls comes on and continues to the end of the full 2:00 of the opening scene.

What the film did well

  • sets the scene well, with the running through the town and the ocean shots
  • keeps to the theme of the books, incorporating some lines from them

What the film dose not do well
  • dose not introduce all main characters.
