Napoleon Dynamite Analysis



The Napoleon Dynamite title sequence starts with the production company, just like many other films, and the use of foods to show the production company tells the audience that the main character must love their food. or is associated with food. 


We then get to see the main characters name "Jon Heder", and the name is on a "U.F.O Abduction Insurance" card which tells the audience that the main character is a big alien fans and people who like aliens are normally associated with being a geek.
The music also starts when the card is getting taken out and the music has a calm "nothing bad will happen" tune. The song also says stuff about school so we no Napoleon is still at school.

After 34 seconds into the title sequence we get to see the film name and what the Napoleon (the main character) looks like. To the audience Napoleon look like a geek because we can see him wearing glasses and having braces. This gives the audience more information about what the film is about. The audience also knows Napoleon goes to school.





We then get to see the other cast members that are important to the film. The other cast are food except the last one which is a weapon made out of tin foil, this might suggest to the audience that "Diedrich Bader" character is a violent character.

Now we get the other crew and in this case we get the "casting by" and "music by". They are on a library card that was inside the library book. This tells the audience that Napoleon loves taking books out and reading them or he wants to check when to return the book because he does not like being late.

We get to see other casts on stuff maybe Napoleon likes.

We again get to see more crew members and they are on drawings of mystical beast/people and this tells the audience that Napoleon likes to wonder in the world of make belief, maybe to get away from harsh reality.


We then get more cast members
And finally the title sequence finishes with the director and finishes with the food.
