Love Actually title sequence analysis

The title sequence uses soft non digetic music to set the tone and genre of the film. The use of the voice over talking about love and beginning to give hints about the narrative of the film. The audience assumes that this is the protagonist but do not see his face so are kept unsure about who he is. 

The use of long shots show people hugging again reinforcing the idea of love and care. This continues throughout the sequence showing many different ages,ethnicitys and genders of people hugging and kissing and zooms in on their happy faces. 


The use of the Heathrow airport arrivals gate is a place where love is a big part as many people their are seeing each other for the first time in a while and conveys the general happiness and love that people feel when they see family and friends again after a long time.
