Juno Opening.


Juno 
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Released: 2007
Directed By:Jason Reitman
Staring: Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner

This is a very unusual opening, as it goes from reality to a cartoon version of what is happening. The camera follows a girl, which the audience then link to being the main character in the film. The scenes show a girl drinking a large bottle of sunny D. We later find out that this is relevant because she is about to take a pregnancy test. By the opening being in a cartoon like form, it adds interest for the audience and captures their attention straight away. The music is being played throughout the whole opening; using this theme tune makes the opening more interesting and lively. The music used is upbeat and 'happy go lucky’. The lyrics to the song are relevant to the relationship that Juno and her 'lover' have. The credits come up throughout the whole opening and linked into what is on the screen. This way it makes the opening flow much better and goes in it with the music being played. We hear the character speaking over the top talking about how she and a boy decided to have sex, and the complex relationship they now have due to her becoming pregnant. You now and then see a group of boys running wearing bright yellow shorts; this is contrasting to the dull background. However these boys are also relevant as Juno’s ‘lover’ goes running in this group every Moring, you learn this later on in the film.
