Juno ‘reverse’ storyboard

conventions of a opening sequence

CostumeWe can clearly see the character wearing typical clothes for a teenage girl. This suggests she’s going somewhere casual like a friends house or a shop. She’s also carrying a orange juice carton that suggests she’s immature and still fairly young because you don’t see many adults with a carton of juice this big.

Mise en sceneWe can clearly see the girl’s walking in her neighbourhood or local are in the background. This suggests that she knows where she’s going and knows exactly why she’s walking to wherever she’s going to. Also the fact that it’s hand drawn and that not everything is coloured in further suggests the immaturity of this young girl.

TypographyThe text in the opening scene appears to be very childish as it’s been free handed and coloured in with felt pens or pencils. The text also has white blotches in it suggesting the person who coloured this in was young. The text is bold and has a 3D effect with a green background making it easy for the audience to read it. CameraThe camera is only set on the protagonist and the area she’s walking through. It’s a side on view to the character with a very wide angle meaning we can see more of her surroundings, setting the scene .

LightingIn this scene you cannot really describe the lighting because it’s been drawn, however we can establish that there is some kind of light source presumably the sun creating the shadow of the girl.

Position of charactersIn this scene you can clearly see the position of the protagonist on the right of the screen. This allows you to be able to read the ‘Fox Searchlight Pictures presents’ while the girl can still be in shot. This shot is clever because she’s only positioned on the right due to the fact she has just entered the scene and then she walks where the text currently is .

SoundThe song ‘All I want is you’ by Barry Louis Polisar is played throughout this whole scene.

CostumeWe can see the same costume of the same girl but only her legs. She’s wearing jeans and trainers which implies that where she’s going isn’t important and she doesn't have to try and look smart, she can go in what she desires .

Mise en sceneWe can see the path with falling leaves and the protagonist's lower legs. The falling of the leaves suggests that the film is in autumn, this may have something to do with the storyline.

TypographyThe text in this scene is also in the same hand drawn text with a 3D suggesting that it’s been drawn by the same person who did the opening text. It’s very bold and the colours stand out on the blue and pink-ish background.

CameraThe camera is set only the protagonist yet again. However it’s a close up just her legs this time. This could be used to indicate how she’s getting to her destination.

LightingAlso because this scene is drawn the lighting doesn’t really work. It looks as if the sun or light source is directly on top of her giving us the shadow of her body where her feet are. This scene is very bright suggesting the light covers everything in the scene.

Position of charactersWe see the protagonist positioned on the right of the screen again. I don’t thin that there is a reason for this. We can see that she’s stopped walking suggesting that she’s waiting for something, this could be a friend of traffic for example.

Anything elseThe leaves that are falling look as if they’re picture s of leaves glued onto a white background. This is something you’d see done by a younger child or in a children's book.

SoundThe song ‘All I want is you’ by Barry Louis Polisar is played throughout this whole scene.

CostumeThe costume is the same as the previous scenes. The costume suggests she’s going out for a casual purpose instead of a formal purpose. She also still has her orange juice carton in her right hand.

Mise en sceneWe can see that the girl is still walking to her destination, the neighbourhood has changed as you can see by the different type of houses . You can also see the girl walking down the street with the word ‘ JUNO’ ext to her, this implies the character is named Juno and the film is based around her.

TypographyThe text in this scene has a larger font than any other scene we’ve seen before this. This is because it’s the film title. This is a very important scene as we finally see the films name for the first time. The text is very clear with the same aspects than the other text ( 3D and that the colour is clear and bold.) We can also see that not the whole scene has been coloured suggesting that the person colouring in hasn't finished, just like previous scenes.

CameraWe can clearly see that the camera has gone back to a wide lens so you can see more of her surrounding and the setting she’ in. The camera is very much focused on Juno in this scene.

LightingIn this scene, you cannot see any shadow, there is no indicator of what position the source of light is being shown here. The road behind her looks brighter than the current road she’s walking on.

Position of characterThe character is positioned in the centre of the shot. This is because the film’s title is on the right. This is also the first time we see her face. This means we now know the name of the character and how she looks.

SoundThe song ‘All I want is you’ by Barry Louis Polisar is played throughout this whole scene.

CostumeJuno is wearing the same outfit as all the previous scenes.

Mise en sceneThis scene is purely just Juno’s chest and face. There is a plain blue background, this shot is very simple and personally very effective. In this scene Juno’s face and neck can be seen as uncoloured as if the person has forgotten to colour them in.

TypographyThe text in this scene is just like the rest , however there are 2 different colours in this scene. It still has the 3D effect and it looks likes it’s been done by the same person all the way through. Yet again it’s very clear and bold to read.

CameraIn this scene the camera is based only on Juno, there are no background objects or structures. The camera is relatively close to Juno’s face.

LightingIn this scene we can tell that lighting is coming from the left of her and the right for us, we can see a shadow on the right side of her nice and the whole right of her face past her cheek. Her neck is also shaded on the right side.

Position of characterJuno is positioned on the left hand side of the screen. We can clearly see her facial expression and facial features. We can also see things like her haircut in greater detail.

SoundThe song ‘All I want is you’ by Barry Louis Polisar is played throughout this whole scene.

CostumesWe can clearly see Juno wearing the same outfit as the previous scenes, however we can also see 3 boys wearing black tops and yellow running shorts. This could suggest she’s near a park where people are training or keeping fit.

Mise en sceneWe can quite clearly Juno trying balance on something, this links back to the font suggesting that she’s immature. We can also see 3 young boys running on the grass, suggests she’s in a public place as people are there. In the distance you can see swings. This makes it very obvious that she’s in a park. There are also houses behind the swings.

TypographyThere is no text in this particular scene, however the swings and houses aren't coloured in.

CameraThe camera is behind Juno as she’s walking across a balance pipe. They also use a wide angle camera lens to film this scene to capture more action and her surroundings including the swings and the running boys.

LightingI think in this scene the source of light is coming from the right of Juno. You can see on her jumper the shadow towards the left hand side of the jumper. The 3 boys don’t have any shadows.

Position of characters

She’s on the left again , I think that she on purposely is put on the sides as even though she’s important in the film she doesn't see herself as important, she might feel like she’s in the same shoes as many other teenagers and therefore doesn't feel important.

The boys run across to give the opening sequence some context.

SoundThe song ‘All I want is you’ by Barry Louis Polisar is played throughout this whole scene.

CostumesJust like one of the previous scenes, it’s just a clip of her legs, this time she’s walking and not stood still.

Mise en sceneIn This scene we can see the protagonists foot and knee cap down. We can see leaves falling from the trees and also a path that she’s walking on.

TypographyThe text in this scene is just like the rest , however there are 2 different colours in this scene. It still has the 3D effect and it looks likes it’s been done by the same person all the way through. Yet again it’s very clear and bold to read.

CameraIn this scene we can clearly see the shot called a point of view shot being used. The camera is acting as the protagonists eyes. This makes the scene more entreating to the audience.

LightingYou cannot tell anything about the lighting in this shot. I’m going to presume that the source of light is in front of her and that’s why we cannot see a shadow.

Position of characterThe character is in the centre of the screen and as it’s a point of view shot then the character will always be in the centre of the screen.

SoundThe song ‘All I want is you’ by Barry Louis Polisar is played throughout this whole scene.

CostumesJuno is wearing the same outfit but we can see 2 strangers sat out side the drug store, they're wearing normal clothes . The woman is wearing a chequered jacket and the man is wearing a jacket with black jeans.

Mise en sceneWE can clearly see a drug store where Juno was walking to and now has arrived at her destination. We also see 2 new characters sat outside talking to each other, we can see that the cartoon has stopped and has gone back to normal. However Juno’ s face is still cartoon when she passes the line from cartoon to reality.

TypographyWe can see where the cartoon background and text has stopped and Juno has entered reality again. The wall of cartoon hasn't been coloured at all suggesting that the end of the sequence is over and also we can see this with a line at the end of the wall.

CameraThe camera in this scene pans across the wall of the drug store and then across the face of the store.

LightingWe can tell that the light is coming from in front of Juno as her back has no light on it whatsoever, also the woman’s back is dark because there is no light on it.

Position of characterThe 2 unknown characters are positioned to look s if they’re talking, this adds context to the scene. Juno is positioned as if she’s walking past them suggesting she doesn't know them.

SoundThe song ‘All I want is you’ by Barry Louis Polisar is played throughout this whole scene.
