Jonny English- Opening Sequence

The opening sequence to Johnny English is quite funny, although it is meant to be serious. The many different emotions on his face and body movements make it funny. If it wasn't for his facial emotions then I doubt that it would be that, or even at all funny. This opening sequence introduces his character completely. This film is in the action/adventure/comedy genre.

This shot introduces his humour, whilst this shot is also meant to be serious through the expression on his face it is overpowered by the comical squeaky toys.

I like the angle of this shot because the lighting is positioned so that it only glows on one side of his face. This emphasises the humorous/serious look on his face.

Here we find out that he was only dreaming, this just sums up and fully introduces his comical character by the things that he does in his sleep. This is a close-up shot that focuses on his face actions.

This is yet another humorous act that adds to the introduction of his character. He holds the gun up like he thinks he's properly in the business, then realises that there's the main piece missing.

I think this shot is trying to show that it is a too big/advanced business for his ability (comparing the size of the building to the size of him). In this clip he can't find his way round the place, this just backs up what I said before.

Through his expression on his face in this shot you can tell that he has made a mistake and maybe feels a bit stupid. I like this medium shot because it shows most of his body movement.
