Robins Hangover deconstruction

Deconstruction: The opening scene begins with a florist taking flowers from there van into a wedding.This shows the audience that the film is set around a wedding(or is it)this slightly confuses the audience as they anticipate it to be about drinking.Whilst the florist is moving the flowers a romantic song is playing,this again can confuse the audience as it makes them think that maybe the film is more of a romcom than an outright comedy. The camera then follows the florist into the wedding area where the audience sees lots of wedding dresses hung up,They then hear a phone dialling a number,the audience automatically expects someone to be answering the phone,but it then goes straight to voicemail.They then hear another phone dialing(which also goes to voicemail),Hear is where the audience are introduced to one of the main characters(Stuart).Then they hear another number being diaied that goes straight to voicemail,at this point the audience notices that obviously someone is desperately trying to get in contact with a group of people,(this adds suspence as the audience wants to know who these people are and why why they cannot be contacted. The audience then hears a bit of dialogue from the bridge and guests.They are discussing the whereabouts of the groom and friends.During this dialogue we find out that the groom and friends are in Vegas(this shows the audience that they have probably been on a stag night,and also explains why they cannot be contacted.The bride then rings a phone number,and this time gets an answer?(this excites the audience as contact between the bride and grooms friends have been established). There is then a few seconds of dialogue between the bride and the grooms friend phil,phil is telling the bride how things at the stag party got out of control,this makes the audience intrigued as to what happened the night before. Phil then tells us that last night they lost groom(doug),this adds an intresting twist to the storyline so far,and again exites the audience as to what can happen next. After phil dropping the bombshell,music starts to play and the opening titles start to play over pictures of desertland, they then switch to the city(Vegas) showing where the groom and friends will be for their stag night and the majority of the film(this sets the scene of where their going to be) it shows the audience the surrounding city aswell so they get a feel of what it is like. Background music is played while Vegas is shown, it is like the type of music is blending the desertland scene into the Vegas scene. This sun is rising in vegas to show that it is the morning after their stag night. The music used with the opening titles is calming which lets the audience relax knowing that nothing is going to happen its just setting the scene.
