naked gun

For the first 18 seconds the paramount logo comes up with the typical animations but with Arabic music to suggest that the first scene would be not American and this is proven to be the case when you see Beirut which goes with the music but also shows danger because this is a place known for conflict suggesting a more serious films then it is known to be. Then wailing music starts to happen and at 31 seconds guards at the door looking serious suggesting more danger about to occur and something big happening in a unstable area and again in most of the opening minute you see people hiding there faces with the typical ak 47 and pick up trucks usually associated with terrorism

But then it starts to become a more parody by each global leader ( associated with terrorism and anti Americanism) and try and outdo each other in terms of evilness making a mockery of global politics,
 At the two minute mark the typical superhero music starts to happen and starts fighting the leaders in a clumsy fashion getting rid of the preconception that this was a serious film and with exaggerated  movements and fighting especially where he makes a head look like a boxing equipment
The childish humour does not fit the characters which they are portrayed but it does make quite a lot of gags like rubbing of the famous mark of gorbachev  and putting a Mohican on a fundamentalist Islamic group
And then it ends on a “ let me never catch you guys in America) considering the unlikeliest of that only shows how such a serious set up can turn into a comedy gag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oEA6zK_8u8

opening to dumb and dumber

The main title is about 3,50 minutes and in the first 15 seconds was just new line cinema title
The first shot you see is a women but she isn’t the a main character
You can see a goofy (weird teeth and weird haircut) looking Jim Carrey suggesting the stupidly of the comedy and this is enforced when he gets the wrong accent and the wrong country and confusing Austria with Australia and also showing how socially awkward he is

The over part to suggest stupid comedy is that he drives in the passenger seats and the driver seats and tumble about it
The music’s quite energetic uplifting and quirky to suggest the type of film
The title of the film animations is quite stupid with crash sounds and big bubbly writing
You can also see the other main character who is dressed quite stupid and dressed like his car
And again the stupid humour is shown through he is feeding dogs men sized sandwiches
Terrible drivers and lack of concern down to his idiocy
Execrated movements through out to also suggest its style of film
