Ride Along 2 Opening Scene Analysis

This is an effective opening 2 minutes to Ride Along 2. In just these 2 minutes we find out it is an action/comedy, we know this because there are two police detectives and they are chasing a car also guns are involved. The action part is shown as a police chase and intense music, guns are involved as well as this is a big indicator to a action movie as most action movies have guns. For example we see gun fire towards this green car and the green car crashing out of the car park. The comedy part is shown because of the actors and we know they have a past of comedy movies. Kevin Hart is shown as the funnier one making silly comments to make the viewers laugh whereas Ice Cube was seen as the serious one which makes this movie just that more funny. For example we see Kevin Harts character nearly get run over and him say a funny comment " Oh he did not just do that" this little comment is trying to make us laugh and it works quite well. 

Some key questions we are left asking ourselves about those opening 2 minutes are: who are they chasing? why are they chasing them? and about the characters we ask why are they undercover? and do they know more than the viewers do? We ask these questions so we get drawn in we want these questions to  be answered and to do that we must watch the rest of the movie... Terrible I know. Seriously these questions are of the most important reasons to continue watching this movie so we answer these questions. We also do find out quite a bit of information anyway in these two minutes as we find out that they are chasing them for more information about drugs because Ice Cubes character says at the end " This looks like more than just drugs". We also find out these two detectives are the main characters throughout the movie. 

The music in this opening 2 minutes its quite upbeat and fast pace showing this scene is meant to be an exciting scene and a fast pace introduction, the first scene sets the mood throughout the movie and the mood this scene sets is exciting and upbeat so were quite focused on the movie. Some ambient sounds are a badge drop, screams and some car brakes. At the beginning we see Kevin Harts character drop his badge showing he was meant to be undercover this sound is effective because it tells us he was suppose to be undercover. Next we hear car screeches from brakes turning in the park its quite enhanced because the car is in a car park which means it creates an echo so were going to hear it quite load. It is effective because we know how fast the car is going and how intense the chase is. The last thing we hear is some screaming from both detectives, Kevin Harts character screams about nearly being run over and Ice Cubes character screams about the chase and is trying to get the car to stop. It is effective because we feel how intense this chase is.
