finding nemo opening sequence

Narrative : In the narrative of the opening scene of finding nemo there is a typical stereotype of a children's film and this is because of how there is a lively and fun atmosphere where all the fish are swimming and having fun. There is also a contrast too and this is when all the eggs are taken away from the parent fish and the mother is killed and this is different to an equilibrium because there is no way of solving this and this is not normally conformed to a children's film where the mother is killed straight away. But it does give the sense of a equilibrium because it makes the audience think that there will be a repair of the disruption because the audience thinks how they are going to survive with just one parent.

Genre: The genre of finding nemo is a lot different to other children's films and this is due to the dramatic opening sequence, finding nemo is easily a hybrid where more than 1 genre is used in a film. The use of horror is used at the start when the mother is killed, comedy is used when they chase each other around the home, romance is used when they hold hands, adventure is used straight away because it makes the audience think the father will have to cope with a life without a mother which seems like an adventure, action is used when there is a fight scene with the shark and there are a lot more used

Themes: One big theme of finding nemo is family and this is shown because they have a lot of eggs that are about to hatch that will make one big family and love is also used and this is because the fish’s are in love, these two themes are stereotypically a children's film because it makes a happy film and they are used a lot in children's films because they don’t have to have any detail in that will make them a pg, 12, 15 and a 18 rated film.

Characters: We are introduced to the characters by the dad being conformed as being very nice and it seems like the mother look not as friendly by the way she was reacting to moving home but as the opening sequence develops the audience understands the mother is happy too and that they are both in love and this sets a great opening scene to finding nemo.
