0:00 - 0:05: A positive jingle begins to play at the very beginning of this romance movie as the first title is introduced, positioned in the centre of the screen. The font is squiggly, just as romantic writing would be printed.
0:05 - 0:07: The title of the movie then blurs into focus, in white capital letters whilst 'fake' has been written in a block of purple colour. This colour is associated with females, therefore portraying this movie instantly as a romance or a chick flick; perhaps both. Behind the title is a shot of a wedding cake as the camera pans around it.
0:07 - 0:10: The voice of the actor is then heard as flowers are placed onto a table. She states "not another wedding". It's evident that this film will be based around her and her hatred for love.
0:10 - 0:12: A close up shot of two glasses clinking together is shown to portray the wedding celebration.
0:12 - 0:16: Camera movement is used to convey the smiley faces of everyone in the wedding room.
0:16 - 0:20: More camera movement is introduced to expose a fun bubbly atmosphere with happy people.
0:20 - 0:26: The happy couple "Courtney and Steve" are introduced by the narrator as they share a sweet kiss, titles fading into view. A few over the shoulder shots are thrown in to show how happy they are with one another.
0:26 - 0:30: A pan shot is used to display the table set up, props like flowers and candles and posh looking cutlery and plates finish this shot off perfectly.
0:30 - 0:37: An extremely high angle shot is then used which gives the audience an idea of the amount of people attending the wedding as large crowds of people are scattered everywhere. At this point the narrator has stopped admitting her dislike for weddings and happy couples and a jazz song begins to play as the sound of conversations increases.
0:37 - 1:00: The camera slowly zooms into a certain table in the crowd, focusing on a man and a woman sitting there uncomfortably. The narrator talks again when the females face sat at the table is more clear, this is evidently her. She narrates that "maybe for once the guy they put me next too will be decent" which automatically makes the audience think that he won't be simply because she already dislikes weddings so it would be an element of comedy.
1:00 - 1:13: The female character and the man next to her begin to share conversation when he attempts to make "small talk" resulting in her saying out loud "great, they sat me next to that guy". Already, a minute in, humour is introduced, along with the theme of a wedding which makes the genre of the movie clear; a romantic comedy.
1:13 - 1:36: Over the shoulder shots are continously used to portray their conversation, filled with sarcasm and her offensive opinions. This puts him in his place, and they both turn to face the front and then study the scenery around them. A two shot is used from behind them to portray them looking at all the happy couples.
1:36 - 1:41: The newly wed pair are dancing, looking into eachothers eyes as the jazz music continues to play in the background; diegetic music.
1:41 - 2:09 The camera focuses back on the female main character and "that guy" next to her. She's just sitting there downing glasses of what the audience would assume to be alcohol because she's there alone. She has no faith that love works out and verbally abuses the idea of it when the man asks her why she doesn't like weddings. Close up shots are used to express their facial reactions when talking to eachother, both discussing the topic of weddings.
