Research and planning - opening two minutes of the holiday analysis

-The holiday is a Romantic comedy produced and directed by Nancy Meyers.It stars Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet as two lovelorn women from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, who temporarily exchange homes to escape heartbreak during the holiday season. Jude Law and Jack Black co-star, with Eli Wallach, Shannyn Sossamon, Edward Burns and Rufus Sewell playing key supporting roles.
- From the opening two minutes you can instantly infer that its a romance genre. I can interpret this from the music and how we are intorduced to all of the characters included and involved in the film. The music is slow and classical which links to it being a romantic comedy and links with the storyline and the audeince can instantly suggest and imply that its a romance. The music links with introducing the characters, as they do it one by one. Firstly, it introduces Rufus Sewell and his fiance where the audience can infer that hes in love with her. Secondly we are introduced to  cameron diaz and her husband and we can distinguish that she isnt happy with him and theyve had some kind of problems. Furthermore, we are introduced to Jude law and him in a club or a bar having eye contact with a girl then we are introdued to his sister who is played by Kate Winslet who we see by herself wrapping a present in an office which we can have ideas and and question about whats going to happen in the narrative as we can infer that she is lonley and doesnt have any sort of lovelife or shes just had a breakup which links to romantic comedy cliches. By introducing these characters shows that these are the main characters and that they are more provance and significant during the film.
-There is use of mis-en-scene in the first opening clip, the clothing, the setting,location and sound and dialouge. The costumes of the characters are shown to be causual for there parts in the film. However, Cameron Diaz comes across as more posh as she wheres more sophisitcated clothes and looks more expensive. We see Cameron Diaz having own driver which infers that shes got a good job and is well looked after and has done well for herself. Whereas, Kate Winslet is shown in a different light as she doesnt look as weathly as Cameron Diaz even though she is still seen to be middle class but Cameron Diaz has more of a status.
- The setting of the first two minutes of the film shows an idealistic gardern scence which presents a couple kissing which infers that its related to a romance genre.
-Overall,the audeince can instantly infer that its a romantic comedy by mis-en-scene,the sound clips and how the characters are potrayed and what type of characters there going to be like and it gets the plot of the narative and storyline.
