Juno
I have chosen to analyse the opening of Juno. Juno is a comedy drama about a girl called Juno an independent minded teenager confronting a unplanned pregnancy and the pressure of a early adult hood.
The opening to the film is of Juno in a hoodie and a pair of jeans walking down the street in her home town with a carton of orange juice in her hand. After a few seconds Juno is transformed into a stop motion animation and the surroundings behind her have turned into line drawn sketches which are also in stop motion. The background is in pastel colours while Juno is in more vibrant colours so she stands out. As she walks down the street clip by clip the credits show alongside her which are in a sketchy line drawn block, bubble writing.
Juno follows the convention of the film opening by having:
- Title (Juno- placed 30 seconds in)
- Credits: Production and distribution co. idents (Through out the film opening)
- Music to set the mood (Folk Music, upbeat, positive song)
- Introductions to main character (Juno main subject)
- Introduction to key setting and location (Average home town)
- Introduction to narrative (Average teenage life
- Sets up genre
I like this film opening because it has graphics mixed into it and I think that it suits the target audience of teenager as it's quite sketchy!
