Dumb and dumber - Analysing the opening sequence of a comedy film
The Film dumb and dumber is a comedy film , i know this by the codes and conventions used in the opening sequence , and the actors wh o are involde . Also the dvd cover (above) shows us that this film is a comedy.
The fim opens with a elegent looking lady standing at what looks like a bus stop , a short while after a posh black limousine pulls up and the back window opens . lloyd ( jim carrey ) pops his head out and asks where a certain place is , the audience thinks that lloyd is the passenger, but as the window gets done up , he jumps over the seat int o the drivers chair and drives off. He pulls off a couple of jokes whilst talking to the lady which immediately lets us know that this is a comedy film. It then cuts to harry , his best mate , whos is currently running late for a dog grooming contest. WIth 5 dogs in the back of hes van this is funny as it is , but when the camera zooms out and we realise hes whole van has transformed into a dog this makes us laugh even more . Below are the codes and conventions used in the opening sequence of this film .
