Napoleon dynamite tile sequence

 Napoleon Dynamite title sequence begins with a very retro looking red shag pile rug with a plate of food layed upon it which has written on it the name of the production company.In many of the slides that follow this are of similar events in which the plate or bowl of food is presented to us with some form of text upon it with the name of either the actors or someone or even other people which showed a clear presenc in the making or producing of the film.

The first impression we get with the food is it is very fatty and greasy food such as eggs or burgers ect.This connotes to the viewers that the person who is conuming the food is a very unhealthy individual and clearly does not have a very healthy lifestyle.This could give the view viewer the impression that the main character may be unhealthy himself or even very either spotty or unclean due to the food which he has eaten.

This already sets up the audiences representation of the main charater which we shortly see when he opens his wallet to find an image of himself on his school ID.On this idea it told the viewer what year it was followed by his name and where the school was located.The school was located in a southern state Idaho which is often considered to be a more southern state because they have no major cities there and it has no real importance.This gives the viewer the imression that Napoleon Dynamite does not attend a big school and has no real importance.The photo on the ID card shows Napoleon Dynamite.This is the first glance that the viewer is able to see of him.Suddenly all of the recent thoughts of him being unhealthy are realised when you take a closer look at his face.Hehas a lot of spots and he is dressed in a very 80's fashion with a haircut from that time period.

Another reason that the veiwers could have the impression that Napoleon Dynmite is very "geeky" is because he pulls out a alien awareness card which shows he is a man of science which could be related back to the previous statement that he is considered "geeky".
