Analysis of Children's Film Opening Sequence

WALL-E

Just from the opening sequence we already know that WALL-E is going to be a computer-animated science fiction film, because what we first see is stars, then we see the universe with all the planets, we know that the film is animated because the title credits come up and it says 'A Pixar Animation Studios Film' and we then know it is going to be an animation.  We also know that it is a Walt Disney film from the credits.  The sound track in the background is very cheerful and happy and quite upbeat.  The establishment of location is a deserted town, and our first actual sightings of WALL-E is from an aerial-view and all we can see is something moving and we can just hear him scuttering around.  The sound track stops for a while and then continues playing a bit, and then we we get a close-up view of WALL-E, the music plays louder.  In the opening sequence alot of children would already like WALL-E because he is quite a funny character.  We know that the film is a science-fiction one though because of where it is set.  Another sound track is used for part of the opening sequence, but this time it sounds more sad, and WALL-E looks sad when he see's posters of him around the deserted town saying about how he destroys all life.  But from the opening sequence conventions we know that the film is going to be about science-fiction and we also get a feel that maybe some action or adventure will be encountered too.
