The opening of Scott Pilgrim vs The World establishes the film's genre of adventure comedy through its pixelated Universal Studios logo and video game-inspired music and voiceover. Expositional dialogue introduces the main character Scott Pilgrim and his dating of a high schooler, while he is 28. Visual elements like on-screen text with ratings and sound effects continue the video game/comic book theme. Various camera angles are used to follow conversation between characters and establish the scene. The editing maintains a relaxed pace through slow transitions. Mise-en-scene depicts a typical student's bland room to emphasize their circumstances and relationships.
