Legally blonde
The sequence begins with the ‘MGM’ logo for the institution of the film production, quickly fading out leading the pop up beat music, this gives the audience a very happy and cheery connation’s for what is about the happen. The clip is then followed on by a blurred out back clip of blonde golden hair, this is the stereotypical ‘high school popular girl’ this works well with the music, giving off a ‘perfect’ I deal world for this character. This also matches to the lyrics of the background music, ‘ it’s a perfect day ‘ – this has a key importance as it subtly puts forward the idea o this character having a perfect life and something may disrupt it. The font is clearly shown in this first clip, the pink glowing colour represents the ‘girlie’ side of the character but while linking to the themes of this opening sequence, which will be followed up later on. The font of the text is set out as if it had been written; it swirls and curls which has connotations of being written by a very girlie girl. The clip is followed on by more titles but also fixes the back image so it becomes clear in seeing the main character brushing her hair. You start to see simplistic key important parts of putting the character together for example, her hands has silver bracelet, perfect manicured nails, a clean skin tone while brushing her hair. After this its lead on to the next sequence of a track of a bicycle carrying an envelope, to which you later find out is intended for the main character. Throughout this sequence a parallel narrative is set out between the main character getting ready and an envelope making its journey to her. This is very effective as it brings two narratives together while giving the audience full information. It may not be set out in real time, however this is good as realistically you would not be able to view all of what the director has wanted you to see and pick upon.
