  • The film starts with an image of shell which then starts to crack.
  • Shortly after names of the characters start to appear.
  • The establishing shot shows the setting/location
  • The music is introduced gradually getting louder, with new instruments coming in as time passes.
  • All the people working behind the scenes (screenplay, producer, director etc) are shown
  • The title and author are both revealed at the end of the clip.
  • Throughout the start we see the process of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, making us think about the storyline set ahead.
