RESEARCH: TITLE SEQUENCE NOWHERE BOY

Firstly, the film is introduced by the production company such as Film 4, Icon and UK Film council, which was supported by The National Lottery. 

In the beginning of the film we are presented with a grand, big and historical building in Liverpool in the establishing shot to introduce to where the film will take place. In this opening scene there is the old style rock and roll music which links with the protagonist when he is running through the building, in a low angle shot, who seems like he isn't remotely intimidated by how grand the building is and makes it seems like its his own and its his playground which shows his rebellious nature which is foreshadowing the later events. 

The next scene functions effectively as a film opening in that it sets up the central conflict of the drama: that between Aunt Mimi and John Lennon. In the protagonists room, when he is woken up from his dream when he is running through the grand building. When he is woken up we are introduced to the second character called Mimi who is raising up John Lennon. The scene where he gets woken up by his Aunt shows how strict she is and no showing any love towards him, this is show how she commands him by knocking on his door until he gets up and introduces the relationship between the two and how Aunt Mimi plans on raising John Lennon up.

The next scene introduces another character who is John's Uncle George, this is effective because it shows the other side of how John is raised. This is established when both of them come to sit down at the table to eat their breakfast and have their secret conversation about the..... This implies how both of them have teen like synergy between each other like best friends and not as a parent and son figure. This also allows John to get away from Mimi who has the opposite ways of George as it seems as she is raising both George and John which is shown by her making both of them breakfast at the same time as if they are brothers being raised by Mimi.

The next scene opens with the music and John getting on his bike ready to go off to school with his friend. Although as he leaves Mimi is standing by the window commanding John to put his glasses on in a similar way to how she got John out of bed, without any politeness towards him. Its then cuts to John and his friend riding down a road on their bike with the credits showing the films that are in associate with the Northwest Vision, Media, Lip Sync Productions, Hanway Films and Ecosse Films Production. The music playing has the lyrics "Wild Child" which links with Johns nature in his life where all he wants to be is a classic rock and roll bad boy in the 1950's 

The director is announced in the text as Sam Taylor-Woods and is followed by the Title of the film "Nowhere Boy" after the headmaster has his talk with John about him going nowhere and him because a nowhere boy.
