In our opening sequence we can see a clear similarity between our opening shot and the opening credits with the American sitcom "New Girl". This is useful because the target audience for our film is similar to that of the American sitcom.
The music in our opening sequence
we wanted to make it our aim to find a sound that our audience would enjoy. The song we chose by King Dinosaur- Grown up. We decided to go for song which had a happy- up beat vibe reflecting Jess's personality and nature. The music is similar to that in the Juno opening sequence and New girl opening credits.

In our research we had a look at the film, Uptown Girls. The opening in both filmsand opening includes an animal. Having an animal wake you up, is humorous and this comparison highlights our genre of romantic comedy's.
Another British rom-com i looked at was Tamara drew, in this opening sequence you have little idea of the story line and it doesnt give anything away about any of the characters. Unlike in ours, you are introudced to Jess and through her actions the audience can learn a little about her. One similarity between the "Tamara Drew" opening and our "Jess" is the font type. Both in a traditional white font.
In the opening of Legally Blonde i can also see a similarity with Jess. They both represent their genre and target audience because it attracts a young females with the application of make up. This reflects the personality of both characters Elle (Legally Blonde) and Jess. In both you see the characters in there daily routine getting ready although Legally Blondes Elle is much more glamorous.
