Analysis of a openings "Juno"-Research and Planning



The Juno opening sequence is very childlike and this aspect of the title sequence works with the Juno character. The main concentration of the opening sequence is Juno; the opening is quite simple as that all we are seeing is her (Juno) on a journey. However it’s what we see on her journey that make up the character and, the rest of the film.

The way the titles are displayed is essential, as they set up the characters. An example of this would be when we see Juno walking past a music shop, we see a animated guitar and a rocking chair, which follows with "Micheal Cera" name, and that makes it clear that the character he plays is into music, and maybe likes to relax and play the guitar perhaps.
Also what makes this title sequence so exciting is the fact it’s made up of a sequence of drawings with a soundtrack that is quite catchy; animatic. To me it seems very original, and I think that works very well in context with the nature of the film, and the main character, Juno.
