Cartoon Effect
The main noticeable feature of the opening scene of the movie Juno is the Cartoon background. This may suggest the childish/immature nature of the main character seen walking throughout the scene. This opinion may be formed due to a stereotypical view that cartoons or animations are most enjoyed by an immature individuals and children.

Introducing the main character
The first impression by the viewer may be that the girl is walking to meet friends as she is often seen smiling which makes you think that she is looking forward to what is ahead. However, when she is seen going into a pharmacy to get a pregnancy test it shocks the audience because she is young and immature; not what a potential mother is usually represented as. ( A caring, mature woman usually in her 20's or 30's who is in a stable relationship).

Representation and Stereotypes
The opening scene boldly adresses the taboo of teenage pregnancy as it is a main problem in todays society. I think that the opening scene was designed to shock the audience whilst adressing the stereotypical view- showing people that stereotypes of people especially pregnant teenagers are not always right.

Ideas for my movie
This opening scene will help me design my opening scene to my movie as it has shown me that to keep the audience interested it needs to present questions to the viewer that they will keep watching to find out what the answers are. It has also shown me what would not be appropriate to animate or add cartoons into my movie as it would take too much time to create. There is also not enough funds available to create it to a good standard.
