Walking On Sunshine is A 2014 Romantic Comedy with a targeted audience of young adults.
The Movie opens with a close up shot of two people sitting on the beach with the waves crashing onto their legs. It immediately suggests a relationship and a loved up couple. The gentle music in the background is a smooth tune which also represents a romantic love story.
One minute into the scene there is a medium shot of the two characters sitting extremely close to each other. This makes the audience realise that they are together and initially think the film will be based around their relationship. The representation of little clothing also informs the audience that is contains sexual scenes and references.
The use of the extreme close up of Raf demonstrates the emotion within his character and shows the love and affection in his eyes. Its effective as the audience gets to see the romantic side of the film as soon as it starts. The actor Giulio Berruti is an handsome and attractive man which targets the female audience hugely.
One and a half minutes in there is a close up shot of the two characters kissing. This is effective as it makes the audience engaged and want to carry on watching. The viewers want to see how their relationship ends up so will watch till the end. The 80's music is also a massive success as many adults who believe the 80's were the best years enjoy listening to the music.
The medium shot of Hannah Arterton and Leona Lewis shows the two of them enjoying their holiday, however with a beautiful background set in Italy. Its effective as the stunning scenes and setting are captivating and advertise the beauty of Italy and its cultures.
The long shot off the characters jumping represents happiness and friendship. It shows there isn't a theme of drama and makes the audience excited for whats to come.
There is a Birds eye/establishing shot of Puglia Italy which shows the audience the stunning and magical setting which the film is based in. I feel it attracts me to the film as a viewer as its a pretty place and I feel it was the perfect area to film Walking on sunshine.
What do I like about this film? I LOVE IT!! Its one of my all time favourite films. I love the music, story line, setting and the characters (Raf). Its a film which makes you want to watch till the end and re watch 100 times! 10/10 from me.
