22 Jump Street Opening Sequence Analysis™
The opening sequence shows how this is the second movie of Jump Street and how the main characters are the same ones as the ones on 21 Jump Street. It shows how the characters are closely connected and how they have been through a lot together. We can see that the genre is comedy and action as we can see guns and there is a clear tone of comedy, like when they are both getting ready with all the guns and the start to do funny acting. The narrative is going to be a follow up of the first movie and it is going to be quite similar in some as they are going back to Uni.
™The title sequence attracts the audience’s interest because there is loud and trendy music and the act is fast paced so it gets the audiences attention. It shows both main actors being funny at the same time as being undercover cops, which is seen as cool.
™I think that the target audience of the film is young people from the age of 15-26. This is because all these people have finished University or school not long ago or are still in it. The music played and the style of editing and mise-en-scene (fast-paced editing, golden guns, sporty car). The main actors are both young and are doing a job that is represented as cool and so young people look up to them.
™In the clip, we can see what happened in the previous movie so that the audience is reminded of the story line. Then, they are both on the roof of a building with their cool car and guns which shows us how they “own the city” just like Jenko says.
™Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) are two cops that became friends while passing the entrance test. Jenko is the more physically fit and more able of the two however Schmidt is more intelligent and cunning of the two. On the Scene they are getting ready to go on a mission and we can see how they are not very mature.
™The setting of the scene is at the roof of a building. This represents power as if they “own the city” and they are looking after it from the top of the building. They are both wearing casual clothes and have a cool car and guns. This shows how they are undercover police and they are meant to be seen as cool by the audience.
™The dialogue between them is about them being partners for life which is the main relationship of the film. At first there is kind of “epic” music, which makes us feel like they have accomplished a lot, and they are at the top. Then when they are getting prepared a more active music starts, which makes us feel like the action is starting and also adds up to the comedy.
™We can see that the colour is a sepia-ish tone that symbolises the start of the film and adds an even greater sense of how cool the characters are. This also affects the atmosphere, as it seems calmer.
™The first shot flows very nice as it moves away from an Ipad to show the characters and where they are. Then there is a close up of Jenko emphasizing when he says “this is our city” and then it moves straight to setting shot of them at the top of the city adding up well to the feeling of “power” over the city. When they getting ready, we can see that the shots come much quicker and focus on details like guns being prepared or them being funny with a pose.; this makes the comedy more effective. In the last part of the opening scene, there is a establishing shot of the port that slows down the atmosphere and then we can see a tracking shot of the car, which again helps to slow down the action as the next scene is calm.
™The editing is combined very well with the camera shots. For example, at the start, the editing is slow and helps setting the scene and the characters however, when they get ready, the editing changes to faster pace which adds up well with the music as it helps bring the sense of action. However, in the second setting show, the pace slowly decreases again increasing the felling of slowing down of the action of the scene
™22 Jump Street is action and comedy. I could see that it is action because they are two policemen and they have props like guns and a cool car. These are things that all action movies have. However, it is also comedy because you can see that they are being funny when they start getting ready and acting funny.
