The film opens with a long shot of a temple, implying there is a ceremony/wedding. It looks very Americanised with the use of the white limo outside, suggesting to the audience it's going to be a American comedy. There is non-diegetic sound which sounds quite exciting and happy linking to a happy ceremony. Characters running into the building are also dressed in appropriate wedding attire.
There is then a mid shot which shows the surroundings, of a dressing room and six women standing around. They are wearing rather large bouncy dresses which may come across as entertaining. There is diegetic sound coming from the characters as they are in conversation. "You look beautiful" is said by one of the bridesmaids which you think can't be serious as the bride looks quite funny and entertaining.
There is a close up shot of the sister in law to be, looking happy and cheerful. However the other bridesmaid in the background is pulling a face to suggest she's weird and unusual. The prop of the big nose also makes you think they may be making fun of her. "She is so annoying...and so ugly"this positions the audience to feel the other women aren't very nice and acting nice to her face when really they are being rude behind her back. It makes you empathise with her as you feel sympathy towards her.
There is then a close up of Danny, who is presented with crazy curly hair, a big nose and not the nicest suit. The diegetic sound is of the women calling his family "goofy", saying he's "well trained" and talking about "what happened with Erik last night?". Danny hears all this and realised how disloyal she has been and that she is only in it for the money. The camera them slowly zooms into Danny as he is crying and has been completely heart broken. He is given prevalence as they want the audience to empathise with Danny and feel sorry for him.
It then zooms out becoming a two shot of him and his cousin who is presented with crazy curly hair and spots all over his face. It makes the situation become humorous as the film is a comedy not a emotional romantic drama.
The long shot of Danny walking away shows that he has been hurt by the situation and won't go back to his fiancé.
There is then a medium shot showing Danny in a nightclub/bar trying to get over the heartbreak by drinking alcohol. He himself is the voiceover talking about the situation and what is about to happen. Its effective as the audience are able to understand it from his point of view. There is then shot reverse shot of Danny talking to a attractive young lady. She is shown to be wearing a tight top and skirt which men and Danny may find attractive.
The close up shot of the two characters touching hands shows their may be chemistry between to two but also suggests a 'One night stand'. The diegetic sound "shall we get out of here" implies they are going to leave to go back to a room together. The high angle shot then shows them walking out her leading him by the hand. It shows she has authority and power in the relationship. It enables the audience to feel happy for Danny as he is able to get over the situation which occurred earlier in the day.
During the opening of Just Go With It, Danny is given prevalence as the produces want us to empathise with him and feel sympathy towards him. He is also the main character and the film is based around his life.
