In the opening sequence of Love actually we first see a clip of this woman in and airport hug her husband or her boyfriend. The opening credits are edited over the top of the film which i think is effective because it is more interesting than a black screen. This opening is a montage and when researching i found out that a montage is a main key feature in most romantic comedies and already in the first parts of this film we instantly see a montage of clips.
You can hear the non diegetic music which sets the pace of the film and in this case it is a slow paced which creates a mood of being soft. This music is good for the scene because we don't see anything that is fast so the music and the clip are in sync together. This opening sequence opens with a woman walking and does not say the name of the film, we just hear the music then see this woman walking. Which i think is good because we don't know if this woman is a main character she then approaches this man and kisses him. I liked this idea because we instantly see the love between then which is good as it relates to the genre.
The devil wears Prada

This opening sequence to this is similar to what i would like to achieve when making my opening to a film. We have the alternate shots between the two women to show the clear difference between the two this is something we have planned to do. This allows the audience to bond with the characters
