Series started in 1996 - american television program.
Starts with looking through her bedroom window, and then an animation of the world behind it, showing an insight into her world, because its different than the one we live in, full of majic
etc. children could relate as often they make their own world and pretend to be a superhero etc.
Very much women orientated, showing the main female character, and the other actresses names all come up before the actors names, subverting stereotype of male dominance in television. I could subvert typical codes and conventions in my own piece, putting female characters before the male characters, to show a more modern society.
Sense of magic as she is presented in a setting that seems to be 'the unknown', emphasising the importance of magic and mystery in the program, shown through the use of special effects.
Female lead is a teenager, children that are slightly younger than the specific target audience could be intrigued as it would be seeing into an older persons life - curiosity.
Upbeat music, emphasises the fun and youthful vibe of this show, a convention commonly used in a lot of children's TV drama openings, emphasises that it is aimed at a younger audience.
Special effects used - the magic of her changing outfits. Animation is also normally associated with kids television, most animations are aimed at children, for example disney pixar films, or cartoons like 'Scooby Doo' etc.
Editing - shot doesn't change, focuses on her to keep audiences focus more on the character than anything else, shows her importance to the narrative and program.
