Ride Along 2 opening scene analysis

Ride Along 2 opening scene analysis

Ride along 2 is a action film. I know this because there are car chases, gun shots and all the cars are fast and look expensive which are stereotypes of a action film. The film is targeted at a male audience  between the ages of 15-29 as men enjoy watching action films as there are car chases involved. Throughout the clip hip hop music (non-diejetic) is being played which gives the film an urban theme to it and the hip hop music also increases at intense scenes to create tension. At the beginning of the film two police officers are shown and you can tell they have a close relationship later on in the scene as they helped each other out. There are two main camera shots used during the opening scene which are a medium shot which shows the characters movements and gestures. At the end of the clip there is a close up of the two main characters one of them being Kevin Hart to show that they are important. Mise-en-scene is used during this opening scene. The setting is the car park. Props used are the cars and the guns. We don't find out much abut the characters apart from that one of the main characters is a detective. We find out some of the story which is the characters are trying to catch a gang of drug dealers. It conforms to the stereotypes as it includes a car chase which are fast and look expensive and guns are used. The pace of editing is is fast when the car chase is happening as the camera is showing the main characters then switching to the gang which shows the audience what is happening from both point of views.
