The
napoleon dynamite opening sequence sets up the films genre and main character.
The frames which occur most is food, the food scenes suggest different times of
the day which the beginning or the film is set, for example the packed lunch
and school dinner tray implies the film is set during the day and at a school.
The guess that the film is set in a school is later confirmed to the audience
with the 'Preston High' ID card being taken out of a wallet, it also shows it
is a high school so we assume from this that the main character will be a
student from Preston High as well due to 'Napoleon Dynamite' the name of the
film being on this card.
Another card which is taken from the wallet states "U.F.O Abduction Insurance", this card suggests to the audience that the character may be stupid and therefore this shows that the film will be comical.
Many of the scenes have childish elements in them, for example a foil object is made which is then thrown like a paper aeroplane which is an immature thing to do showing the traits of the character. The lemon sweet box is something that a child would choose to eat, as its bright colours and smiling lemons on the front would be appealing to a young child this implies that the character may be have a child like mind which shows the comical side to the film again.
Another childish element in the opening sequences is the child like drawings and the toy cars, the drawings show the creativity of the character and that he may see himself as a hero like the drawings, however the drawings are very simple which may give the audience the impression that he is also simple. The frames are also very short and simple suggesting to the audience that the film will have a simple plot and story to follow.
The library note for "Bigfoot and me" suggests the imagination of the character and that the film may also be fiction.
Each background of the frames are different bright colours suggesting that the genre of the film and type of comedy is childish.
