The Hangover

The movie starts off by showing the 'Warner Brothers' logo and the 'Legendary Pictures' logo. During the 'Legendary Pictures' short clip the music for the film start, it seems a cheery song and a feel good song which can suggest that everything will be happy and everything will work out fine. It shows people setting up for some sort of event, which happens to be a wedding. While the music is on in the background there are some panning shots, low shots and establishing shots, then you here some non-dietetic sounds, this is someone ringing up the main characters in the movie and when this happens it goes to answer phone after the phone rings, which suggests the characters are in trouble or something bad has happened.
Phil (Bradley Cooper) then rings back because he is the only one with a phone, when he picks up you see him battered and bruised, he has scratches on his neck from some type of animal and dirt all on his clothes, in the background of Phil there is three other characters sitting on the car or standing next to it, you don't get to see who its is though. But the main focus is on Phil, the characters behind are blurred, which means he is going to be one of the main characters. When he says they had lost the groom the bride panics down the phone and you do not see the end of the conversation. Phil then looks up to the sky the camera follows and goes White, then flashes 'The Hangover' in bold red writing, to do with blood and passion to find their friend and get back in time for the wedding.
After this the titles role, and another song start which is a bit more serious, they then have lots of long shots, panning shots and establishing shots to show Las Vegas, all the sights you can see are in the titles, like the grand canyon, most of the big hotels, fountains and more wonders of Las Vegas.
In the titles it shows the actors, main casting crew, costume designers, music producers, co-producers, editors, production crew, executive directors, main producers, writers and the director.
The last thing in the titles is a high establishing shot looking over Las Vegas and seeing the sun set, and then Movie starts.

Director and Producer= Todd Phillips
