Juno
- The input of sound makes it seem like the credits are being written and also the changing of the colors of the credits suggests that it is an indie teen film because many films always have their credits in the same font and in the same color
- The way the credits are presented shows the audience what kind of genre it is.
- voice over to suggest that she is the main character in the film.
- flashback to give more insight into the narrative
- as she walks a title starts to appear on the fence that she is walking alongside which is a good and creative placement of a credit
- use of crane shot and high angle shot.
- love song playing in the background which links to an aspect of the films genre romance.
- the title 'Juno', which indicates the name of the film, is flashing between colors so therefore it stands out which suggests that the title is very important because its the name of the film.
The opening sequence has the character "Zack" Mayo, played by Richard Gere, riding towards the military base to sign up for the Navy's Aviation Officer Candidate School to become a Pilot. The opening sequence follows the main character on his journey, similar to our opening sequence. However our opening sequence follows two people and has two stories going on at one time.
Narrative function: Montage sequence that introduces each character.
Conventions displayed: Bold font, conveying the characters; there is also a continuity with the font, yet not with the coloured background. Title displayed fairly quickly, upon a diamond; which the audience know has been stolen, suggests genre.
Characters introduced: All main protagonists are introduced and the type of character they are; also their character name.
Cinematography: Colours used suggests genre as they are fairly basic, yet bold.
Camera/editing: Camera tracks the diamond as it is passed around, then the money, etc... . Ends back with the diamond in the mans hand; where it started. Editing is tight and cuts between each character smoothly.
