Film Openings:The Wedding Date





At the start of the film between 0:00 and 0:21 seconds the Universal logo along with the soundtrack is seen on the screen, this is then followed closely by the Golden Circle film logo which last from 0:21 seconds too 0:29 seconds. After this the screen goes blank for exactly 2 seconds.The blank screen is then followed by the writing 'Universal films and' from 0:31 - 0:35 seconds, after this for one seconds the screen is blank. At 0:36 seconds the words 'Golden Circle films presents' this last 4 seconds until 0:40 seconds, again for one seconds the screen is blank and then the music to to the film starts at 0:41 seconds,at this time 'a 26 films production' appears on the screen for 4 seconds. the film then starts at 0:45 seconds. At 1:11 the words ' In association with visionveiw LTD'  appears on the screen.

Later at 1:19 too 1:23 the lead actress Debra Messing's name appears on screen. 6 seconds later at 1:26 her co star Demote Mulroney again lasting 4 seconds on screen. The title of the film then appears on the screen at 1:34. The first dialect of the film begins 6 seconds later at 1:40. At 1:53 other leading actors/actresses names start appearing on the screen including Amy Adams which can be seen on screen from 1:51 too 1:53.

what the film does well: 

  • introduces all actors who star in the film well
  • sets the scene well, by having shots of the iconic New York skyline 
  • provides context well through the use of the phone message and by the invite. we understand from the begging that the main character is going to a wedding and she has hired a date for it
What it does not do well
  • dose not introduce characters very well, we know their names but not them fully
