silver linings playbook

 soft non-dietetic music is played immediate which indicates the story line following by giving off a tranquil feeling to the audience. The same music is played throughout the sequence and due to the fact the pace and tone stays identical, a comforting approach is once again handed to the audience, this instantly knocks out the possibility of the film being orientated around a thriller or crime. 30 seconds into the clip, a man starts to talk; everything he says is associated with love and this, for the audience, is the final clarification of the genre in hand which is obviously romance. "When the planes hit the twin towers, as far as I know none of the people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love, if you look for it I've got a sneaky feeling you'll realise that actually love is all around." This is one of the lines which the speaker reads, and for the reason that this was a very sensitive issue to be raised for a large number of the population we can tell that the film is going to be somewhat emotional, and evidently as real life as possible which makes the audience want to watch on to identify with themselves personally, referring to the uses and gratification theory.Secondly, the camera movement holds a great influence in demonstrating the genre. By specifically choosing a long shot of two people hugging to open the scene, we promptly gain an insight of the devoted and affectionate relationship between the two. The camera then cuts away a number of times to show a variety of diverse people in equivalent situations, all hugging and kissing one another. This is the point in which the camera zooms in to the blissful faces of these girlfriends,boyfriends,friends,mothers and fathers which generates narrative enigma with curiosity of why these people are so contented and warm within this situation. This similarly links in with the representation of the characters, as the stereotypical American lifestyle is portrayed as being joyful and grateful of those around them, which is reinstated in the screen shots of the people appreciating life below.
