Difference in Beginnings of Our Film and Researched Film

Our film and Four Weddings and a Funeral use similar openings. They both show different characters getting ready throughout the opening. However, Four Weddings have some very long shots (e.g. 15 seconds, 18 seconds) whereas a majority of the shots in our opening are short and quick cut to increase the pace. They both start with similar stories, Four weddings - wedding and our film opening - wedding rehearsal. We wanted to get the feel of rushing and maybe panic whereas the opening to Four Weddings is at a much slower pace. Both films use titles in a similar way, but we use the actors name when their character is on screen whereas Four Weddings does not. We also use dialogue throughout most of our opening whereas Four Weddings only has dialogue at the end of the opening.
