Comedy- Bridesmaids

Starts with very upbeat punchy music to build excitement and pace, the first shot that is linked with this is an establishing shot of an American skyline which introduces the audience to the setting. There is quickly dialogue introduced 'I'm engaged' which tells the audience the main story line, there is also a two shot of the two women both whom seem very excited about the news. An over the shoulder shot puts more focus on the blonde character making us assume she is the main character, despite her excitement her facial expressing portrays more shock about the news. As she is asked to be maid of honour it puts a lot of pressure on her which is portrayed through the characters nervous giggle  and her way of relieving some of this pressure is by drinking wine from the bottle, making it more funny. This is become an increasing stereotype of middle aged women to drink wine from the bottle allowing this type of comedy to appeal to a larger audience. The non-diegetic sound is introduced again but this time it is much more basey, this is used to introduce a new location, a very posh building. This location is contrasted by the mid shot of the lady in her beaten up old car which is not something you would associate with this posh setting- this is enforced by funny dialogue about having to punch the car to start it. Although the character is dressed as what they would consider to be posh she is underdressed in comparison to the other people in the room. The difference between them is emphasised by a use of an over the shoulder shot looking onto the bride and the maid of honour, this would imply that these two have more similar personalities whereas the rest of the bridesmaids are a lot posher. This montage continues through the greetings of all the bridesmaids,  all whom say a similar thing about being single- this would increase the humour and may even bring the audience closer with this character as most females can relate to the situation of being the single friend. One of the bridesmaid subverts to the others as she is also seen in more comedic way with funny dialogue. There is a medium shot of all of the six ladies sat around a table cheersing suggesting thar despite their differences they all become friends, this helps to keep the comedy on going as all of the character have very different personalities making their interactions between one another funny. All of the ladies have very different ideas for the bachelorette party while the use of the close up on the maid of honour implies this is not her cup of tea. The use of mise-en-scene further creates difference between the six as they are all dressed in completely different clothing. The montage which includes a long shot of them all walking together, fireworks and puppies keeps the excitement in the trailer while not revealing to much of the film. In the montage there is a long shot of what appears to be the braid falling in the middle of the road suggesting that not only does this film follow the whole journey of the wedding, it illustrates the difficulties during it. The last shot of the trailer is a medium shot of all the bridesmaids going to find wedding dresses, when Megan does a large burp, this not only subverts to the usual behaviour of how you would act in this situation further supports that she is the particularly funny character within the film, this is then followed by more funny dialogue by her. Not only is it her dialogue that makes her more funny but she is also a much smaller more butch character making her appear completely different to the others allowing her to stand out more. This would conform to the usual stereotype of comedy films as they usually have one joker character however this is often played by a man, also in this film all of the characters appear to have some quirks about them making them all slightly humorous to watch.
