Chosen Film: Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel
The first thing you see in the opening sequence of this film is the media company (20th century fox) and title sequence of the film.
This film is a mix of animation and real life acting, within the opening sequence you are introduced to all three chipmunks, Alvin, Simon and Theodore alongside their ‘guardian’ Dave. During this period you are able to establish the general characteristic of each character especially Alvin who is cheeky and quite a big show off. You also get a theme track as the chipmunks are singing, and are very quickly able to establish the genre of the film.
This film fits into the family animation fantasy comedy genre as it has talking animals (the chipmunks), and is meant for families to watch hence the U certification. It also has some comedy aspects throughout the film for all ages to enjoy.
The general narrative of the film is quite predictive within the first few minutes of the film.
The general locations is also set although the real main location of the school isn’t established until further into the film.
