Pitch Perfect Opening Scene

I watched the opening of Pitch Perfect, at the beginning of the film they kept zooming in and out and showing the credits with some very catchy music going on in the background. This is to get the audience ready for the film by giving out the credits for the film in the opening scene. Normally this wouldn't happen at the start of the film,but some film do have credits at the start instead of the end. it makes it more exciting as well with the up beat music playing in the background.

As the opening scene continues there is a lot of close up shot at the girls face while she is on her laptop listening to her music also the camera is focusing on her hand movements whilst she is typing on her laptop. There is also over shoulder shots in the opening as the camera shows what she is doing over her shoulder to get some exciting camera angles. 

There is a lot of zooming in and out with the computer screen as the camera is trying to show the audience what exactly she is doing by zooming in and out and panning her movements. There is also use of an high shot or a birds eye view as the camera is viewing what the girl is doing from high up so or significantly a birds eye view of things. There is a lot of panning once she has finished on her laptop for instance  when she is moving the camera moves with her with low shots, high shots, medium shots and a birds eye view shots. This is effective as the audience can feel like there moving with the girl in the film. The music in the background is also another thing that is effective as you feel like you also have the headphones in your ears as well as moving with her, but when she takes her headphones off the music stops.
