I chose this film purely because I thought although it appears to be a blunt film from the first two opening minutes it furthermore, shows us from the last 30-40 seconds of the opening scene that it will be a very interesting, adventurous and funny film that a variety of people from the audience can identify with and or empathise with both main characters.
In first twelve seconds we are shown that MGM and Original Film and Columbia Pictures were a part of the production teams as shown with the logos.
Music which introduces the film suggests that it's going to be a very upbeat film however, as we are introduced to one of the main characters who seems very geeky the music stops immediately suggesting that this character throughout may be isolated and possibly made fun for who he is.
However, we see the other main character Jenko who is played by Channing Tatum make fun of Schmidt the character played by Jonah Hill for his attempt to ask his crush/neighbor to prom. This makes the audience feel sorry for him.
We can immediately see a huge contrast between the two characters as one is more towards the geeky side and the other one is more a stereotypically sporty popular guy.
When we see both characters sitting outside the front entrance of the school both looking upset it makes the audience suspicious of what is going to happen next as the trailers promise us something amazing.
On the other hand, it makes the audience feel happier as they may feel that Jenko got what he deserved for making fun of Schmidt.
Furthermore, we can already tell that Jenko is going to be a big influence in Schmidts life as he already tries to show off by kicking the trash can which Jenko kicked first. This tell us that Schmidt will most likely try and prove himself in the future, suggesting that he is better than what the bullies portray him to be.
I really like how, throughout the two minute opening there is a colour scheme. I feel that this would be effective if used in ours, in 21 Jump Street the theme colours are red, blue and white. For ours, it might be effective if we used the colours white and red as they could connote instead of action (in 21 Jump Street), they could suggest blood loss and innocence for the white (similarly to 21 Jump Street as people were effected by what happened as they were around wrong people).
