I looked at the film 'Juno', this is a comedy drama film.
- The titles in the opening sequence are childlike and similar to a
comic book. This is good as the titles should always relate in some way
to the film, which they are doing as the film is presenting Juno (The
character) to be a young girl. The titles also link to the season, as
they are sort of blowing in the wind, just like how leaves fall of
trees. Because the titles are so childish they show that the other
characters may also be adolescents and that Juno still has an inner
child in her and the idea of bringing another child into the world is
slowly turning from a daydream to reality. This also shows her state of
mind whilst she is walking, like she is completely daydreaming and not
paying attention to anything else.
- Straight away we can tell Juno is a teenager because of her costume.
She is wearing a jumper, jeans and some trainers which makes her look
very casually dressed. She doesn't look as if she's bothered much with
how she looks. She is also dressed quite tomboyish so you wouldn't
expect her to be pregnant. Her clothes are also quite baggy and
unflattering which shows she doesn't need to show off all her skin or
she isn't very vain which is quite different to some other teenagers who
would care about what they look like or what they wear.
- The first camera angle used is an establishing shot, this tells us
exactly where the film is set and what sort of area Juno is living in.
We see a long shot of Juno drinking juice from a bottle, this is quite
informal and shows the audience that she doesn't mind what people really
think of her
- The non diegetic music replaces all other sounds which also hints to
being in a daydream. The music helps establish the genre and the type
of atmosphere that the film creates. The film is a coming of age film
and the music really reflects this.
