The Chronicles of Narnia

The introduction of the film instantly shows the action aspects of the film as at the time as it is set during world war 2.  It does not come across as a children's film until later on.  Starting the film with a war is forboding of the war later on in the film.  The fact that the film starts with a war is not stereotypical of a children's film; however, as it's set in the past this forces the viewer to use their imagination to imagine the scene of an event they have not witnessed.

The shot of the child shows that there may be a depressing narrative within the film.  The shot shows the young boy looking upset, which children may be able to relate to.  The colouring in the room of the train is dark, which has negative connotations which continue in later parts of the film. As most of the single shots in the introduction are of one character, this focus' our attention on him and shows that he may be a key character later in the film.
