Characters:
In the opening sequence we see roughly 8 different main characters although there are many other students around these characters. The 'main characters' may have a role similar to: the bad guy, the pretty popular girls and the young kids. I assume throughout the film we will see more of these characters that the camera happens to zoom in on at the beginning. The narrative information could be showing us each character and giving an inside to their personalities. e.g: the student at the beginning who walked through a group of boys after making a face at them shows that other students may be scared of him and he could take the 'cool bad boy' role.
Editing and Camera:
There are a range of different camera angles and editing techniques in the opening. At the beginning we see children running out of a school bus at a low angle which could suggest the school is crazy and there is a lot going on as this angle makes us feel smaller as we are looking up at these children running, it could also suggest how a person may feel on their first day of school and how hectic it can be.
The camera also zooms up and has a slow motion edit on the main characters while they do actions which we will see and assume what social group they fit in to.
