Spy Kids

At the start of the opening sequence there was an aerial shot of a cliff and sea, then travels by zooming to a small spanish chalet, to an open window with a young girl. This instantly tells the audience that she is a main character.
Through out the entire opening sequence there was non diegetic music, it had a spanish twist too it telling the audience that there is a spanish influence. We soon find out that it is because there is a spanish background too the family.
The other main character is shown by putting what wart killer on his fingers, and brightly coloured plasters, showing his child like behavior. If you think about the character and not the film the plasters symbolize him.
We then see the mother asking her children if they have done basic needs before bed (Brushing teeth). The young girl asks for a bed time story which is another stereotypical shown of child like behavior.
The mother then tells a story and the frame fades into a flash back following the story. This continues with the mothers voice becoming a voice over, which is non diegetic. This flashback/story gives the audience the background and history too the rest of the plot. The final main character was introduced in the flashback/story. Mise-en-scene shows props which allows the viewers too understand the film is about spy's.
