We see from the beginning of the clip that the film was distributed from Columbia Pictures which shows the film is very successful, as Columbia is one of the biggest production and distrubuters going. The music on the film is very hawaiian and surf like, giving the feel of where is is set. When we see the setting of the beach it matches the music. The music carrys on between convosation and when the main character is trying to get out of situations. The music also sounds like something you would represent with the sea with the effect that it is set in hawaii and based around a sea world. 
The lighting at the start of the opening is light pinks and reds which represent romance and as it is setting the scene on the beach shows the audience where abouts the film is based around. The use of the colour blue shows it is a very natural colour and it can either be represented with sadness or it can be a very calming colour. The use of the light blue in this clip gives a calm effect with the water and the uniform the main character is wearing, it gives the idea of the character and what he is going to be like throughout the film. 
The opening titles fade in and out like a wave, giving the effect again of being in hawaii and near water. The colour of the title shows the different steps of the film, the 50 is in the colour red to show how much romance goes into the the 50 dates, first is in blue to show the calmness and possible dilemmas they both go through and dates is in white to represent the innocences between them both.
Some good ideas here, particularly linked to connotation (for example, of colours). You could do with linking your ideas in to the work that you are developing in order to be really clear about how the ideas you've looked at are influencing you.
