Deconstruction of Napoleon Dynamite


Napoleon Dynamite isa comedy made in 2004. The opening credits are very different to a thriller's opening. There is only one shot used in the opening which is a point of view shot. This shot is used to give the audience moreof an intimate relationship with the film and the characters.
   The colours of the props and backgrounds used are uplifting and give the audience an insight to the mood of the film, while the randomness of the titles reflect the random storyline of the film overall. You can tell the film is a comedy because of the opening titles, they're lighthearted and have a funny element within them.
   The specific food in certain shots is very typical 'american food' which gives the audience an idea of what to expect from the characters and setting where the film takes place. Also in one shot, they have used the character Napoleon Dynamite's 'Preston High School' identification card, this not only introduces the views to the main character in the film, but also introduces them to the main location.
