22 Jump Street Opening Scene Analyis

22 jump street is a highly entertaing film that follows the first film 21 jump street both staring channing Tatum and Jonah hill, two undercover cops that go back to high school to catch the drug lords within the school. The second one starts with a very comical scene as the pair try and go undercover as two Mexican drug smugglers however it does not all pull off as easily and it becomes very funny. you can tell from the opening couple of minutes that there is a strong bond between the two characters and that it is very humorous, straight away this gets the audience asking questions if they have not watched the first jump street for example what is the relationship between the two characters and why is it so humorous? There are many different camera angles involved within this scene but mainly close up, this is used with effect because it shows the emotion on the men's faces and shows that they are finding it quite funny. This film is obviously a comedy but can also be thought as an action comedy. we can see this from the opening scene when there is a car chase this is a typical stereotype for an action film and is what makes this film one as well, also the fact that there is weapons involved this is what makes it an action comedy, normal comedy's do not involve violence or fighting and this makes them normal comedy films but as there are fighting scenes and gun fights within the first two minutes this makes this film and action comedy.
