As our chosen genre is "action comedy," we have decided to analyse the opening of Rush Hour 3. We have chosen this film as it has similar ideas to what we want to include in our opening film. The conventions that make this an "action comedy" film are conventions we will use in our main task. These include similar setting which is in town, humour through the use of speech, dramatic action included in the storyline etc. In the opening scene, there are firstly several establishing shots of both the city and then buildings. There are also opening credits which are white and bold making them stand out. There is then an aerial shot of the character who is shown to be both dancing and singing in the middle of the road. This creates the humour in the film which is then contrasted with action, when suddenly a car crashes. It is filmed on a sunny day and so had natural lighting. The mis en scene is typical of everyday in town centres consisting of busy roads, traffic, cars, people etc. These all establish this opening scene to represent this film as being of a "action comedy" genre.
