Four Weddings and a Funeral
Four weddings and a funeral a British Rom-com made in 1994 and directed by directed by Mike Newell, it was a big hit here in Britain and an even bigger one when it hit America, upon its wide release on 15 April, 1994, the film had raked in a total of $4,162,489 (£2,593,147) at the box office alone. The film's main point is to dilate the idea of that special one, the one you are going to live the rest of your life with.
The first thing we are shown is the title presented in a unusual way, normally the title is shown faded in with the scene made using a graphical body made by or with a computer but this time we are shown a clear white background with the imprinted words " Four Weddings and a Funeral " in silver writen in a elegant font with white petaled flowers surrounding the title, it look almost like a wedding invitation itself this the first thing we see in the film is this graceful and formal invitation to which the characters have been invited to.
The film starts introducing its character's by showing us the audience their average routine of getting up and ready for the day with a simple non digetic song playing through the opening scene with each character.
Though we do hear dialogue throughout the opening but nothing more of a few lines because we are meant to be focusing on the each character's attitude to the events about to unfold.
After the title sequence, we see the first character Charles (Hugh Grant) in his bed, the bed is rumpled and untidy like the rest room which is cluttered, with his white coat over his chair, all his books cramped onto one table instead of a shelf suggesting that he is intellectual and capiable but lazy or just laid back.

The next person we are shown also in bed with a copy of farmer's weekly on desk which is already saying how controlled he is living in a very structured environment with each moment planned out, gets straight out of bed opens a chest next to him and gets a black coat out then produces to fold it and lay it on the bed then gets straight to grooming himself.
