Film Openings

Obviously with Sex in the City it has frontloading in that it is already a popular television programme. This will make its target audience want to continue watching. As for men, after the snipet of nudity they would want to continue watching, both to make their missus happy and to catch more glimpses of nudity.

The main chatracters seem headstrong and tough in a mans world, getting nearly every female wanting to watch the rest of the film. The Funky jazzy non-diegetic sound leads the viewer to believe that this may be a fun film to watch and it sets up an atmosphere for the rest of the film.

In terms of editing everything seems very 'montagey' and modern.
