Paired work - Jamila and Charlotte.

Within the opening sequence of our chosen children's film, Finding Nemo, there were many various conventions. For example, the film begins with a logo for the production company, Walt Disney, which introduces the company that the film was made by. This particular production company is famous for various other children's films and therefore helps the genre come across. We then see the title sequence, which starts the film. Straight away we see that Finding Nemo has cheerful music which shows the genre of children's film because you know straight away that it is a happy/cheerful film. The opening sequence shows an insight of the characters such as Marlin the clownfish and also the unborn children which tell us they will somehow be involved in the story. The fact that the characters are talking fish show that this is a fun film aimed at children because it's a fantasy thing that children can engage with and enjoy. We get to know the location from the very beginning because it is in the sea, at a coral reef with lots of different fish. This gives us an idea of the film's narrative too, as we know it is in the ocean and it based around fish. This opening is visually engaging as it uses bright colours from the beginning including the variety of colours on the fish and the attractive background of coral reefs etc. to draw in young children, further adding to the genre of children's film.
