First thing that comes up is the institution and film company names – touchstone pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer films – This appears with mysterious music then changes into the war video that is shown. This is clearly old footage because of the quality of the images. It shows a war field and a man commentating about war heroes that have been in the battlefield before and are being discharged with medals. Close up of a certain soldier saluting which then connotes to the audience that he is going to be a main character in the film. The mood of the film then quickly changes as the location changes with an establishing shot of the dock, and romantic music. They use continuality editing as he walks from the boat to the bar and inside the bar. His uniform shows that he was the soldier in the clip at the beginning, and the size of his bag and the reaction when they meet show that they haven’t seen each other in quite a while, and their kiss shows they are romantically involved. The lyrics in the song relate to their relationship with the romantic feel to it. A lot of jump cut’s to different location. Side shots as they talk to each other. As the new character comes into the scene over the shoulder shots are used during the conversation. In the scene the other couples dancing show that the song is very romantic for a slow song. The lighting is well lit on the main characters in the scene and dark in the rest of the places as it is a bar at night-time. The vodka and beer signs show they sell a lot of alcohol and the men at the bar show it’s a mans bar. Lots of close ups and mid shots of the characters to show their facial expressions. The two men both wearing dark green and the lady is wearing a bright colour with her bright hair which makes her stand out more as a character.
