Guy Ritchie began his career doing odd jobs on film sets before directing music videos and commercials. This experience helped him direct the short film "The Hard Case" in 1995, which caught the attention of Sting's wife Trudie Styler. Styler invested in Ritchie's first feature film "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" in 1998, which was a success. However, Ritchie's next two films attempted new things and were not as well received.

1. Guy Ritchie
Guy Ritchie hit upon a successful formula when directing his first
two films, bringing his unique sense of style and panache to the
crime thriller genre, but then blotted his copybook when he
attempted new things in his following two movies.
He began as a film runner (an odd jobber on film and TV sets) before trying his hand
at directing music videos, doing “20 videos back to back, really crappy ones with sort
of German rave bands”. This gave him some valuable experience behind the
camera, and he moved on to doing commercials. With the much-needed
grounding, he went on to direct a 20 minute short, ‘The Hard Case’ (1995), which
aired on Channel 4. As it did so, it caught the attention of Trudie Styler, the wife of
singer Sting, and she invested money into what would become Ritchie’s first feature
full-length film, ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ (1998).

2. Sherlock Holmes
The protagonist character is introduced in the beginning of the
opening sequence which indicates that he is the main character of
the film. Guy Ritchie has deliberately done this so the audience
can identify that he is the main character.
Guy Ritchie has also made sure that the colours used are to
represent a certain aspect of the film to connote what type of film
it is. The font is also sans serif which might also give an idea of
what type of film it may be. The movement of the shots are also
fairly quick with a 4second pause in between. The type of shots
that are used are mostly close and medium shots.
The music and sound is used to identify the time period it was
in and what type of film it may be and what may consist in the
film.

3. Snatch
The protagonist character is introduced in the beginning of the opening
sequence which indicates that he is the main character of the film. Guy
Ritchie has deliberately done this so the audience can identify that he is
the main character.
The conversations that are going on in the opening scene also gives us an
idea of what type of film it is. The shot types are also similar to the other
films Guy Ritchie has done as he used medium, long and close shots. The
scenes are also at a similar pace as lock, stock and two smoking barrels
and Sherlock as they last for about 4seconds.
Though snatch has more of action type music playing on the background
instead of calmer music that is played in Sherlock and lock, stock and two
smoking barrels.

4. Lock, stock and two smoking barrels
The protagonist character is introduced in the beginning of the
opening sequence which indicates that he is the main character of
the film. Guy Ritchie has deliberately done this so the audience
can identify that he is the main character.
The scenes also move fast for every 4seconds, the font is also sans
serif which might also give an idea of what type of film it may be.
The speech in the opening sequence is about money and selling
which also may give an enigma code on what the film is about.
There are shot types such as close, medium and longs shots which
establishes the setting but not yet what city .
What Guy Ritchie has done similar with Sherlock and snatch is the
he introduces the main characters in the beginning as well as have
similar pace of scenes and though only has the same type of music
used with Sherlock.
