This is the link for the Pink Panther 2 opening scene which is a detective comedy.
I have found it was released in 2009, directed by Harald Zwart and had prodcution companies that are
-Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer(MGM)
-Columbria Pictures
-Robert Simonds Productions
The film grossed $35,922,978 domestically and $39,948,054 in foreign countries totaling $75,871,032 worldwide.
This clip is is different to the perception the audience will usually have of a detective drama in that it is in a comic way. However this may cause a disadvnatage such as that it decreases the vermisiltude and represenataion of reality. This opening scene is very specfic in that it immediatelty makes the audience know what the film is about. The use of the titles and credits after the part where the audience starts to know what the film is about is a very good way of keeping the audience interested in the film and wanting to look further. Also the titles and the cartoon shots make the film have a different aspect to the film and seem more unique to the same type of genre.
In the title the use of sound in terms of the Pink Panther theme, also in the film srings are used throughout. These emphasise a certain idea or thing and the audience would have to be familar with this throughout the film. The use of the theme music in the titles makes the audience understand what sort of genre it is in that it shows some ambient sound to show a certain thing. The music is very mysterious and quite slow, it also connotates the titles in how the Pink Panther is moving and the sort of things they do.
The audience in this may then be antisipated to be for a young age as they see a comedy side of a detective genre, this may be because they feel the audience will understand the idea of crime better and it will be more clear, however this may reduce the versiltmude in the real world.
In the beginning the use of various locations is very good in that it gives titles to show these, this means it is took in various locations. In the film the way various items have been stolen in the world makes the audience thing of how someone could have done all of them and makes it sound mysterious. The music shows a sense of qucikness the way it gets louder to each item being shown to be stolen. At the end the music because very high pitched and finally ends suggesting to the audience that something has been acomplished in this case the items being stolen.
In the first dialogue between the two people the perception of detectives is lacking vermislude in that the detectives think very highly of themselves and it also shows a lot of competition between them. This is shown in a comic way in that he starts to bash his head againist the wall because he did not get the moment he was waiting for. It then represents the extends a detective will go to in this case lieing and bribery.
Then the detective refers to Closeau where there audience does not understand who this person is except that he is the best detective in the world-From this the audience start to imagine this inspector as a serious, boring and hard working person however they immediately know of the person when the next scene appears and then it is the final straw to showing it is a comedy detective film. The inspector is interprutated as very determined, accurate but not ina serious manner and this is what the keeps the audience interested. This was big risk for them to take have the audience thinking one thing where they want to not watch it but then showing another side and this attracts them too.
From this clip I have found that using a comedy in this genre is a big risk and is very hard to achieve. I have decided that from this film I can take ideas such as the use of stealing and getting a inspector to investigate. This film was very succesfull because of the comedy of it however it is very hard to avhive.
