The Story of Tracy Beaker

2002 onwards  - british children's TV drama - CBBC

Uses both people and cartoon animation, shows only the main actors and actresses as actual people, therefore showing they are more important. Very colourful and bright, will attract audience into watching the program as it is eye catching. Cartoon and animation is also linked with childrens television, therefore making sense for it to be in the opening. 

Fast editing as is used in a lot of other children TV drama openings. Children are being typical children, running riot and making mess, and also shows that the show is child dominated as the shot of the orphanage in which they all live in is shown with them all in it. 

Again the music is upbeat, fun and youthful to attract target audience. Main actors seem to be females, slightly female orientated, especially as it is 'The Tracy Beaker Show'. 

Camera establishes setting, (orphanage), and characters, keeps Tracy Beaker focus of the opening as she is the focus of the program, always centralised in shot.
