Johnny English Reborn...


This is the sequel to the widely popular film Johnny English (Peter Howit, 2003) starring Rowan Atkinson. The opening sequence is a sort of montage from a MI7 Classified folder. On the side of the folder is written 'Johnny English" with the words SIR crossed out in a red pen. the camera moves about alot- all most as if it is being shot with an eye-line match. The audience can only see the hands and lips of the two characters, they seem of high importance as they are both wearing a suite and they remain anonymous with the use of shallow depth of field, through out the opening sequence. There are pictures of Rowan Atkinson's character Johnny English, there are also newspaper clippings, some saying "MI7 Securtiy Balls Up" and "Doh-Zambique! MI7 Disaster in Africa". The scene changes to a bunch of Tibetan monks training. This is where we first see Johnny English, this is very comical as the audience immediatey know that he is not somewhere he belongs. There are many comical moments during the scene but it ends when he is sent back to London for a mission.
