Mis-en scene

The outfit that the character Juno wears in the opening credits seems is  entirely unisex. Since she is wearing pants and a checkered shirt it makes the character of Juno appear like a significant boyish girl.

The music in the background but has a serious tone in the singers voice this sets a dramatic atmosphere.Inside of the initial few moments of the opening, Juno is taped in genuine time where every one of the houses and different parts of the mise-en-scene are what is seen as reality. When Juno begins strolling the animations begin,despite the fact that the title sequence is animated and the larger part of it isn't in color. The lighting makes the shading truly splendid.
