In our class we were asked to deconstruct and reconstruct the opening of Juno.. The first thing we had to do was deconstruct the opening by watching the video along with its opening song 'All I want is you' by Barry Louis Polisar, noting down every shot and then replicating it with story-boards. Being my first experience with story-boarding, I assumed it would be relatively simple but it ended up being quite time consuming as we had to draw every single frame and ended up with pages of story boards.
Through the storyboards we were able to piece together the details like the props, Juno's wardrobe, edits, transitions and timings of each frame. We brought in orange juice for Molly, aka Juno, to drink who also brought in clothes to match those of Juno's in the opening. However there were some continuity issues with the dress code as we filmed over several days-there was a slight variation in jeans and a mix up with the shoes. Molly brought in leaves she made herself to replicate the leaves in Juno which allowed her to have some creative input into the making of the film. I had never filmed before and I found it difficult to get used to using the camera and especially the tripod. We had to work out the timings of each frame and the edits and camera work between frames. Having to mimic the panning and zooms was a good example of the attention to detail we had to pay.
