22 Jump Street

22 Jump Street (2014)
The film starts with a brief account of the previous film to give highlight to the audience that there is another film before this, this enables people to watch the first film before they continue to watch the second. Then the scene starts with a shot of college lecturer wearing a very smart suit, he is very well spoken with a very monotone voice suggesting to the audience he is very boring. A mid low angle shot is used so he appears to be above us making him look more superior. We then zoom out of this and focus on two men, the two main characters, who are sat on the bonnet of a car. A mid shot is used again to introduce us to the characters and to the setting which we can see behind them, this is film during the middle of the day so is very well lit. The characters are sat very close to one another which implies to the audience that they are friends and enjoy each other’s company. Both the men are dressed very casually which suggests they are young and not at work, also they do not make the effort to dress up and take care of their appearances. They then fist bump and say ‘partner’s for life’ which furthers emphases to the audience that they are good friends not only in their spare time but they are also work partners. Followed by this there is a close up of two guns and a change in the backing music to a more upbeat song this gives the audience an opportunity to predict what is going to happen throughout the rest of the movie. A routine is then done by the two men suggesting they are well trained and educated, however not all of these looking serious illustrating to the audience that this is a comedy film. Within this collaboration of moves there is a few low angle shots pointing up making the men seem more superior and masculine. This ends with establishing shot of the city in a helicopter to really make the audience feel comfortable with the setting, it really makes the audience realise how large the city is and how beautiful it is.
