Nowhere Boy was directed by Sam Taylor-Wood. She is presented on the sequence as, 'A Sam Taylor-Wood Film.' Following this was the title of the film which was in the most prominent position on the screen stating, 'Nowhere Boy.'
Throughout the opening there was an establishing shot. This was a very wide shot of a young boy running energetically through an old grand building which is in contrast as the building itself looks very elegant. The young boy does not look intimidated by this, this conveys that he is a brave young man. However his venerability is presented when a birds eye view shot of a boy curled up in bed is released in front of the audiences eyes. Period of time is shown throughout the sequence by the style of his bedding and pyjamas.
The audience is intrigued from the very beginning when it is clearly shown that there is a sense of tension and conflict between the young boy (John Lennon) and his Aunt Mini, that he has grown up with. Throughout the sequence Aunt Mini is presented as a very strict character, with a very neat and sophisticated dress code. It is clear that she keeps herself very confined. This is then presented by her always perfect hair, speech and clothes.
If you were to compare Uncle George with Aunt Mini, it is clear that George is a lot more loving towards the young boy. There is a close relationship presented in the sequence between Uncle George and John Lennon. Family dynamics is very clear to the audience throughout the screening, for example when you see Uncle George setting up a music system in John's bedroom and then drinking alcoholic beverages together almost as if they are the same age.

Good as your have clear understanding of the dramatic narrative (John's conflicts) and of the themes (rebellion, the emergence of the Mersey Sound). You grasp that analytical writing usually works most efficiently when a topic sentence introduces a point and is supported immediately by examples.
