This opening title sequence for the film Juno effectively uses several conventions to introduce the audience to the film. It displays the credits to identify the actors and crew involved in the production. The changing color title establishes the setting and conveys that this is an unconventional film. While it shares some similarities with the hackers opening like inclusion of music, Juno's unique stop motion animated style makes it stand out. Overall, the opening achieves its purpose of piquing audience interest in the film despite being a bit long and not immediately revealing the genre.

1. MEDIA PRESENTATION
Juno Conventions

2. 1.&4. IDENTIFY
CONVENTIONS AND WHY IT IS
INCLUDED?
. Credit- The opening title sequence displays the actors and crew to show who were included in the
film and entice the audience if the actor is well known or if it was a large blockbuster
. Title - Shows the name of the film,
.Establishes setting - This opening sequence shows the audience the setting that the film will be
placed in as we see what we think is the main character walking around a rural US area
.Enigmatic - The opening sequence creates narrative enigmas because it does not reveal a lot about
the film yet introduces us to the characters and lets us make a first impression on them
.Cast and actors- To show who was involved in the making of the film and therefore make the
audience want to see more of the film
. These conventions have been used so the audience know its an opening sequence and so they
know the genre of the film.
Production company- Gives credit to the production company.

3. 2.CONNOTATIONS.The title changes colour in the opening sequence as it could connotes a fun and vibrant
film that is not to be taken seriously due to the bright colours and vibrant text which would
not be seen in in different genres of film.
. The background is also flat and the character is 3d to make her stand out more and could
suggest that she is the main character and maybe she is in her own head or different from
her surroundings .

4. 3. HOW DOES THIS COMPARE
WITH HACKERS ?
. This opening sequence has certain similarities and differences compared with the OTS
we saw in the starter:
. Juno did not have any dialogue whereas Hackers had dialogue throughout the first
minute of the opening sequence.
. Both OTS had music however Juno had it throughout the OTS and hackers only had it
during the Temporal - Extension .
.Juno was also filmed in a cartoon style in stop motion however Hackers was filmed
normally with the characters not being drawn or animated.

5. 5.WHAT CONVENTIONS ARE NOT
APPLICABLE
.
.The only convention that was not applicable was the theme as the OTS did not have
much activity it was just her walking therefore we could not establish the main theme in
the OTS .
.

6. 6. ARE THESE CONVENTIONS
TYPICAL
.To me these conventions were shown typically as the OTS was very bright and
fun which to me reflected the genre . I have also seen this in past OTS were
they have used similar fonts and styles in order to convey the genre . They also
as I listed have used all the conventions that I can think of therefore it is a typical
OTS .We can also establish that it is a Indie film and has a lower budget then
other major films .

7. 7.EVALUATE THE
EFFECTIVENESS
WWW- It was an original OTS as although I had seen similar OTS I had not seen them
in this style . It also made me want to watch the film more to find out more about the
character and the setting.
EBI- I found this OTS a bit too long and repetitive which I thought could be better. I also
thought it want easy to identify the genre until I looked into the conventions more .
