I chose this film mainly because it is one of my favourite films, and also because the title sequence is interesting - the actual titles appear only briefly and the main point of the opening is to establish the setting and plot of the film.
The entirety of the opening sequence is signified by the background music, and when it ends, the title sequence ends with it. The movie has already begun during the title sequence.
For context - the film is about a teenage girl whose family and friends suspect her of being a lesbian, and send her to a 'straight camp', where she realises for herself that she is a lesbian, and goes on a journey of self-discovery. It talks about the difficulties of being gay during the time it was set, and problems such as dealing with family and getting into relationships.
The film begins with the idents of the production and distribution companies. It then fades to black, and switches between the black screen and titles and images of cheerleaders performing a routine - establishing setting (a high school field, probably in America) and possible guesses as to the main character's personality (a teenage girl, sporty/interested in cheerleading).
The screen focuses on one girl among others. She is not only in focus, she's also made to look bigger than the other girls using perspective.
The girls in the background take up the rest of the screen, showing their importance in setting the scene.
The scene then changes to a mid-shot of the girl shown before walking with a teenage boy. They are positioned close to each other, showing a close relationship, and he is wearing American football clothing - this is relying on the audience's knowledge of common tropes (the cheerleader and the jock, in this case), to assume that they are probably in a relationship.
The next scene is a of the two characters kissing in a car - the camera moves quickly and the movements of the characters are also jerky, and the body language of the girl suggests she is uncomfortable or unsatisfied.
