A young teenage girl is first introduced in the opening titles. She is drinking from a large bottle of Sunny D and then wipes her mouth on her sleeve. This introduces us to her laid back and immature character. Then the music begins and she walks slowly swinging her arms and swaying as she walks. This backs up that she is laid back and somewhat unemotional to her

surroundings.

Juno’s Character

The first scene is real life but after Juno wipes her hand on her mouth and starts walking, the scene becomes animated and uses basic pastel colours. The animation connotes a childish theme to the film and shows us that it is a light hearted and funny film. The Animation is quite jumpy and looks hand drawn which gives an unprepared air to the film which could be a forewarning of the events to come.

Animation

The music used in this clip of the film is a very happy upbeat (but not too jumpy!) piece of music and the lyrics in it connote the storyline as it is a love song but the relaxed and jokey feel of the music sets the whole tone for the film.

Soundtrack

ThemesDue to the heavily animated and hand drawn opening, the comedic feel to the music and the way that the character of Juno is portrayed gives us the impression that this film is going to be a laid back comedy. Also, due to the use of pastel colours in the animation, this could connote a young baby as the soft colours are related to children.
