All of Guy Ritchie films are different genre and the genre of his film can be recognised by the opening of a film this is because the colours, fonts, pictures and music he uses in his films match the genre.

  All the Miseen scene in the opening is suppose to reflect the time period of the Victorian error so all the low key lighting, costumes represents the whole mystery of the film. All the titles that appear on the screen are about 3 seconds long, the opening uses a lot of graphic match its like its telling us a story in the beginning. The music is really upbeat this maybe represents the genre which is detective fiction and suggest to the audience that there is going to be some action involved. The font used in the opening is serif, this font makes the movie associate with the past Sherlock Holmes is set in the 1800’s so with him using that font he try set that Victorian look. Due to the music and the Mise en scene we straight away know the genre off the film.

  Lock, stock adtwo smoking barrels starts off with a black screen showing the institution. It begins with a handheld camera shot, coming close to the protagonist, we get a close up of the protagonists face which helps the audience realise who the main character in this film is. The protagonist is represented as a cocky and confident guy we know this as a lot of people are gathering around him. The use o the handheld camera is effective as it makes the audience feel like they’re part of the crowd as well. When we have the black screens with the institutions we hear the protagonist still speaking this a non-dietetic sound used. The fact that they are running away from police suggest to the audience that they are trouble makers. We then have a slow motion shot of a narrator giving the audience more information about the characters.
