- Again this starts with the Warner Bros. Pictures logo and then also the Gaylord.
- After the film companies (0:38), there is the titles over a black screen. These finish at 0:53 seconds where a butterfly changes the screen to a view New York and the title of the film.
- The flying, colourful butterfly looks strange in the build up city of new young connoting that one of the characters is different and stands out against a dull word. Also butterflies are quite girly, connoting the genre of the film has female topics like love, connoting the teen romance genre. It also could represent the main character, connoting that she wants to be let free among the city in which she lives.
- The butterfly gives an Aeriel view of the hole of New York connoting that this is a very important setting in the film. While the flying around the sky scrapers continues until 1:33 (the majority of the extract), so does the titles.
- The butterfly is used to guide the camera into the smaller setting which is in New York. Along with this comes the voice of the main character who starts to tell her life story, "My name is.."
- The story starts as her being a child, a common teen romance style of the film opening.
- Titles finish just before the mid shot of the main characters appear at 1:52.
- The single parent aspect is used again and shows the Mother and daughter as having a close relationship because it is just those two characters. "Just us to" is what the narrator says, reinforcing that there is no one else. However, when the clip practically gets to two minutes, the audeince get the feeling that the little girl is not as happy as she seems with just her Mother. This creates an enigma to why she is not happy.
- One big camera movement/journey.
