Opening Credits of a Romantic Comedy (take no notice of the different language on the screen).
- Love Actually
The opening sequence of Love Actually introduces the universal theme of the film, love, and not just romantic love but love in all forms. Love between parents and children, love between siblings, love for a partner or love with an old friend. The British accentof the actor Hugh Grant shows that it is a British film. The music is an orchestral string arrangement with a piano accompaniment. It is very evocative of love and romance and sets the tone of the film. The opening sequence of Love Actually successfully uses techniques of camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene to establish the visual style and introduce characters, narrative themes and sub-genre conventions.
