A Lot Like Love

I watched the opening scene of A Lot Like Love, and this is a film about both Comedy and Romance. A film with 2 different types of genre is known as a Hybrid Genre. A the beginning of the film, there is diegetic sound when the pop song is being played. Also there is non diegetic sound when you can hear the surrounding noise of the plane and when the drink is dropped on Ashton Kutcher by the air hostess. Pathetic Fallacy is also used as when Ashton Kutcher is dropped to the airport by his sister, the weather looks nice and hot, this shows that everyone is happy.

The opening scene is set in the airport, so this tells the audience that this film is not a Science Fiction. There is a vast number of Camera Angles and Transitions used. some of these are: Close Ups, Medium Close Ups, Extreme Close Ups, Long Shots and many other camera angles. These different camera angles show surroundings, engage the audience and emphasise facial expressions and creates focus in the audience.

At the beginning of the film we are told that the film is shown 7 years before, so that shows how the couple change in the 7 years. The pairing of the couple is an unlikely pairing as the girl is good looking, whereas the boy isn't shown to be so good looking. Also, when the couple meet on the plane and start kissing, the audience get to know whom the main characters are in the film.
