We looked at a few Romantic Comedy opening sequences, we have already looked at Notting Hill and Definitely Maybe.
Love Actually- This is a romantic Comedy. This film tells a few stories in one film but they all link in some way. It starts by showing the producers (Universal Pictures and Studio Canal) and then the main producers (Working Title), who it associcates with ( DNA Films). We then see lots of people hugging at the airport. Lots of different camera shots were used to show all the events happening, Non digetic sound was used to hear Hugh Grants narrating. We could tell this is a romantic comedy because we see people hugging and kissing at the airport, Hugh Grant is also talking about love. There is very slow editing as we are meant to focus on the story and whats happening.
While You Were Sleeping- This film is about a woman who is alone and the only thing she has to come home to is her cat, over Christmas she is asked to work over time at the train station she works at and one day when she is working a man comes past and gets pushed onto the train tracks and she saves him. It starts with following a train track as it is an important part to the film, The actors, actresses, producers, film name and directors are shown when we are following the track and then we have an establishing shot of the city its set in.

How they meet in Romanic Comedys
In Romantic Comedy's the main couple in the story meet in different ways for most films, whether it is they bump into each other, its by accident, its very unlikely, they fall over and silly incidents in everyday life.
In 101 Dalmations the couple meet through the dogs, which is a good film to use as an example because it is similar to my first idea. The two main male and female characters are walking there dogs and the dogs meet each other and bring the couple together.
In Notting Hill the characters meet when the woman walks into the mans bookshop and over time they fall in love.
In How to lose a guy in 10 days they meet at a party
