Opening Sequence Analysis - My Sisters Keeper

My Sisters Keeper begins with a  video of a kite in the sky. The camera is shaking which reveals to me that it is a home video. A young girl then starts talking over the video about how she was born. The camera cuts to several home videos of memorys of a young girl. You can't really who the girl is which suggests that it might not be a main character. The young girl goes on to say how most babies that are born are mistakes and that she is not a coincidence. That she was born for a paricualar reason. A scientist produced her so she has specific genes. The home videos then appear to have two young girls. The voice over then says that she was born to save her sisters life. From this you can see that the two young girls are the sisters.
The camera cuts quite quickly from each home video so you dont have long to see what is happening. It cuts to certain close ups of body parts like the girls smile, her hair and her legs. This to me suggests that she is the girl who is helping her sister. The shots are put in to show that the girl is just like any other girl despite the way she was conceived.
The music in the opening is quite slow.The diegetic sound is a piano playing a simple melody that sets the mood of watching the home videos. The music is quite quiet so that you can hear the girls voiceover over the top. The non diegetic sound of the girl talking is quiet soft and calm, which suggests she has no shame over the way she was conceived. The young girl sounds quite fiesty which suggests that she may have been picked on about it before and she has had enough of it.

In the opening the actors names flash up in white on the screen, this contrasts the black beackground which the videos are playing on. The videos do not fill the whole screen, they move around in different areas of the screen. For example, at one point one of the videos is playing on the left of the screen, leaving the right hand side back and the next video is playing horizontally, leaving a small area of the black above it and below it. This makes the video seem more like a home video becuase it isnt showing in the full screen which most films do.
