Ride Along 2 Opening Scene Analysis


RIDE ALONG 2 OPENING SCENE ANALYSIS 






Horror Target Audience Profile

Horror target audience profile 

Target audience is young people slightly more than female aged between 15 and 19. teenagers who finally fell in love and just about to go to the university together and take the next important step in their life as adults. this shows they are both young and they are both turning into a man and women and they are becoming more mature as adults and they are embracing it.  they are also taking a huge step in towards the end of their education and they know after this they would go into the world of work so they are making the most of the free time. An example of this is jeepers creepers and the is a boy and girl are driving in the car and they get chased and followed by a truck. 
Convention of a horror film 

one convention of a horror film is creepy noises an example of that is creaky doors a second convention is a haunted house and an example of that is a haunted house which is very scary house and it grabs the audience attentions and makes them more involved in the film. A third convention is a ghost which scares the audience and it takes them of their seat and it is very unexpected for them.  a setting is another convention that can be set on a farm,isolated places,dark woods and creepy settings so it can be set in may different locations. jump scares is another convention this is pretty much someone coming out of nowhere and it is an unexpected for the audience. music is another convention it is very scary for some people and the intensity of the music increases and decreases thought the film. zombies is another convention they come out the blew in most films when you dont expect it and try and scare you and the audience the audience can see the zombies in the film but they cant see a ghost so that is the different between the two. possessed kids is another convention they are normally evil minded and very vicious in most horror films and the audience really wouldn't like them and they would think they are trouble and no good and they are normally on the bad sad of the audiences point of view. teenagers are shown they are are very irresponsible in most horror films the gives the audience members a bad reputation about them and they think they are trouble and they are always up to something.

Research and Planning Targets

Make sure you add all the evidence of your genre projects so far - and consider adding to your posts when you learn new approaches and terminology in your G322 classes.  Push yourself and show your enthusiasm for film even more!


It is the opening scene of rush hour starring Jackie Chan and Chris tucker in rush hour. The film is about two main characters Chris tucker and Jackie Chan and Chris tucker is a police officer and he is on a mission and he is trying to find the villain who knows some details about the missing girl and he also has something very valuable and he needs to get that of a friend of his which he knows so he follows him to the petrol station and he goes up to him to get the dangerous machinery of him but he wouldn't give it over and at the end the is car chasing and he chases him and at the end gets what he wants and he tells his friend the he is a police officer and he didn't know that before he just told him.  You can tell it is an action film from the beginning from all the car chasing and gun shooting involved, and violence from the opening scene and you can tell that he is on a mission and he thinks he is very important.  the music in the background when the villain has a gun to the cop head is very low and you can tell something big was just about to happen and after the gun shooting you can tell the intensity of the music increases and it perfectly sets it up into the next scene which is a car scene and the music intensity rapidly increases.

Convection of an action film


one example of a car chase used in a action film is when the villains are driving as fast as they could away from the heroes to get away with what they have done. explosions is another convention they are used to blow up buildings and cars in films they happen out of nowhere so they catch the audience and they take them by surprise and so they dont expect it . another convention is weapons they are used to kill people and beat people up with. guns is another convention they are used to kill people. villains and heroes are always in a action film so the good people vs the bad people this is because the audience can identify who are the bad people and who is the good people . death is another convention of an action film someone always dies without fail in an action film due to all the weapons and guns used in every action film this sometimes makes the audience sad if it is someone who is good through the film and they dont deserve to die . fighting is a convention of an action film the villains and heroes fight each other to win the battle. the is always stand out cars which all the heroes usually drive to stand out and stamp the authority that they are important and big and they try and say they are here to win. money is another convention of an action film, some action films always use money because its a big thing and money buys you everything in life. finally another convention is love and friendship people who always trust each other and have each others back so a partnership or a team who always trust each other and try and win the battle.

Ride Along 2 Opening scene analysis 

The genre indicates from  ride along 2 from the opening 2 minutes  that it is a action film you can tell that by all the guns involved and all the car chasing and all the violence involved and you can tell because the are hero and villains in the film and straight away as soon as you see that you can tell that it is an action film. The was also stunts in the opening scene  and special effects which really gives an action film feeling.

The questions left that we are  are asking is how is the two main characters relationship from the film and if they are close or not and if theses two cops are high up in their job and if they take their jobs seriously and always try the hardest at all times to insure that they can do their job to the best of their ability. And another question the audience are encouraged to ask if they actually like each other from the start  or if they are just stuck together from their boss as he tells them what to do.

Thirdly from the opening scene we found out that the two cops who are partners are trying to save the family from danger and you can tell that they dont entirely like and trust each other. we also can tell that there is a lot of violence in the film from the guns and car chasing we can see and that it is a very intense film and it is basically villains v hero and they mostly the main two characters have each others back.

Fourthly the music is very upbeat and at fast pace and it get quicker through the trailer and you can tell that there is a lot of action involved as the music is very intense and it pretty much tells you from an audience member that the characters are in a rush and they are very determined to do their jobs and save their family from danger.

Finally the camera shots involved are very powerful for example the close up which was at the cop one of the two main characters it showed his facial expression and how he was feeling at that current time and that close up shot really showed us as an audience member how he was feeling and it showed us what he was going through and it gave us an insight and how he felt and it almost makes you think if what if that was you in his position and what would you do and react to that.  the was also a long shot of the two main characters who are the cops together and that shot showed us the bond between the two main characters and he showed us they felt and responded to each other from a far distance.
