Legally Blonde Opening:

Legally Blonde:
Released: 2001,
Directed by: Robert Luketic,
Actors/Actresses: Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Luke Wilson.

The opening sequence of 'Legally Blonde' has a really girly theme to match the film itself. The sequence includes lots of bright colours including pink and the credits, which run throughout the opening sequence, are also pink. Within the opening sequence the audience are introduced to Reese Witherspoon, the main character, and all of her friends. The music featured in the opening sequence matches the girly theme of the film with a happy and energetic song.
The narrative of the film is built in the opening sequence and the audience know that the characters are students at university and that Reese Witherspoon is going on a date with her ideal man. The camera, throughout the sequence follows Reese Witherspoon's friends around the university, until eventually we meet Reese Witherspoon's character, Elle. Enigma is created within the sequence and the audience ask questions such as: What are all Elle's friends creating for her? Why is Elle the most popular student? Who is Elle going on a date with?
