Analysis of Napoleon Dynamite

Napoleon Dynamite

It opens with a red carpet background and a plate of potatoes is put infront of the screen with the titles written in ketchup. The plate is taken away by a hand and then a new white background comes on and a different plate is out in the screen, this then repeats for the next titles. The next shot opens with a wallet a hand takes out numerous cards to reveal who stars in the film and goes back to plates with food again still showing who stars in the film. There is then a library book card taken out of book showing who cast the film , theres packets for sweets for the casting aswell. The character is then holding a lip balm which shows who produced the film and drawing for the director and executive producer, it uses stationary to show who it is written by to end there is a plate with a burger and chips with the director then burger is then closed , this is the end.

We like this opening as it is origional and prepares the audience for the style of the film. We like the fact that it is simple , not over styleised. it also uses everyday objects which everyone can relate to.
