The title of our opening sequence has a specific font which looks like handwriting, in some of the opening sequences of romantic comedies we looked at they also had this as it looked like it would have been written by the main character and looks personal to them.
Setting/ location:
The setting is just in the characters houses and around the place they live. This is typical of romantic comedies as it reveals information about the characters and what their personalities are like without words and sets up the story and how they are going to meet.
Story and how the opening sets it up: The opening sequence is setting up the story as it is showing the characters lives before they meet, by showing both of them getting ready in the morning it indicates to the audience that the film is going to be about them. This is used in other romantic comedies as it shows information about the characters without having dialogue and a big scene. It also portrays the rest of the film and keeps the audience in anticipation.

Costume and props: Our characters are wearing clothes appropriate for work but you can see the difference of smartness in their appearance they have. Darren wears a suit whereas Emily has more of a casual look, this shows their difference in that Emily is a lot more care free and Darren is the opposite and hard working. A lot of romantic comedies use opposite personalities for their characters as it's good to work with the clash of personalities and the saying 'opposites attract'.
Camerawork and editing:We used the camera to make it look like the characters were looking i a mirror, this helps to show that they are getting ready for the day and the fact that they are both getting ready shows a connection between the two characters and that they are going to meet.
