This film opening I chose to analyse is from Nacho Libre (2006), directed by Jared Hess.
Genre: Simply by the opening the genre is very very clear. It follows the 'geek-comedy' genre which is seen in such films as Little Miss Sunshine and Napoleon Dynamite. We see that this is a comedy by the way the character is introduced, we see him stealing random items in a comedic manner and we find out that he is obsessed with wrestling. He is introduced as a quirky character and the music helps us to identify that this is a quirky comedy. The font is also gives us a clear indication to the type of film we are about to watch.
Narrative (enigma): The opening introduces us to a character who is obviously wanting and trying to be something that is unattainable to him, we see a short insight into his life as a child as at the end of the opening it transitions into present day.
Atmosphere: Based on the colour and the cheery music one can gather that the atmosphere is overall very light hearted and that this is going to be an upbeat film.
Titles: The titles are done in a sketch-like handwriting font in blue which adds a personal touch and allows the audience to relate to this unfortunate character right from the very beginning.
