The word "Autumn" appears in the top right corner of the frame, written into the sky, that matches the word with it's warm brown-orange colour.
The frame includes Juno und the left edge and a house on the right edge, filmed from a higher angle.
In the background you can hear birds twittering, the atmospheare seems mild and friendly through the warm light.
It continues with a long shot from Juno on the left and an armchair on the right. Juno drinks orange juice out of a bottle and watches the chair, as we can see in the next shot. It makes the audience want to know why she stands in front of a house watching an armchair and why it's standing there.
The next shot is a close up of Juno's face, what makes us see her facial expressions. She looks like she couldn't believe what she's seeing.
Juno starts telling her story voice-over with: "It started with a chair."
The light in the room is warm and orange. Juno starts walking towards the armchair slowly and the camera is tracking.
Slow, calming music is playing.
The next shot shows a close up of Juno's face kissing the other person.
The review is interrupted by a barking dog and changes back to Juno in front of the house. The opening continues with a shot/reverse shot of Juno (mid shot) and the dog (long shot). Juno screams at the dog and seems very angry.
We see the armchair next, as an over-the-shoulder shot, and then a close up of Juno drinking orange juice. She looks disappointed and a little helpless.
For the last two minutes of the opening, we see different shots of Juno as a cartoon and the names of people involved in the making of the film. A nice and happy song plays and Juno is walking.
The camera is following her movement, we start to identify with her and see her as the main character.
Through the cartoon it all seems a little childish and infantile.
