the parent trap

in the opening sequence of 'the parent trap' there is an establishing shot of a ship which is where the wedding scene takes place. there are elements of editing which are shown by the opening credits and title fade in. this is effective because it tells the audience what the scene will be about and where it is set. during the credits there are shots of people dancing and talking. the camera does not show the two main characters faces until the end of the opening scene. this could make it more interesting and encourage the audience to watch more in order to find out about the main characters. during the dancing the are low shots from the feet to the knees and after that shot there is an aerial shot which is still of people dancing. the opening scene finishes with a zoom in of a photo of the main couple who are getting married on the boat. there is diegetic music which both the characters and the audience can hear which is the music being played at the wedding.  
in the next scene there is another establishing shot of a different location which is the camp the two daughters go to. the camera is on a crane and pans around the crowd of children. this is another effective shot which tells the audience where the next scene is going to take place but could confuse the audience as there are two new and different characters. there are a lot of medium shots which show conversations between two or more people. this means that the camera shots are from the waist upwards.
