This is a total contrast of ‘Catch me if you can’ but it still achieves the same goal of giving the viewer a taster of the film's storyline. The genre is a romantic girls film, obvious by nearly every aspect of the sequence. The narrative could be argued to be open or closed. The lines like ‘you will be his’ suggests that the film may be a closed narrative showing both the start (being the wedding or engagement) and end (finally being his). This is called conventional narrative, however is it much more likely something may go wrong suggested by the enigma code making the opening an open narrative. The enigma code suggests something may go wrong by the lyrics from the song ‘Kiss him and squeeze him…..wishin' and hopin'….show him you care.’ These lines also suggest to the viewer that the film is about love and men showing that this is definitely a romantic film if it wasn’t apparent enough by the title. The three friends in the back at all times also suggests that it’s a about friendship. The fact that bride catches her own bouquet also suggests that something may go wrong.
It is apparent who the main character is as she is always centre of the frame in a wedding dress as the other friends are just in bridesmaids outfits. The audience can presume there is also a groom in this film. The atmosphere is very feminine and also happy and cheerful and feels like its set in the 1950-60’s due to the style of the dress and song. The themes are apparent from not just the song, but also what you visualise. The themes are love obvious by the dress and cuddly dances, as well as the lyrics; men are also obvious by the song lyrics and friendship is apparent by the friends in the background. Also, the opening is set in a pink studio which is almost mocking the movie, showing it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Finally, the titles are written in a wedding invitation style font almost asking the audience to join them in an adventure.
