This is a film about a young boy who is adopted through a caring couple and is able to change his life through this. However he cannot adapt his previous lifestyle to his changed new one.
The first tittle which is presented is Disney Production, this allows the audience to know that this is a Disney production which is most likely to be a children's genre of film.
The first opening scene goes over a town with soft calm music with this there is a camera shot which is an over view shot of the trees. There is then two people looking into a window however titles beginning to appear "filmed by" the audience are then made aware that this male and female are most likely a couple as they hold hands. The film then jumps to a lady flicking through a piece of paper in an office A close up shot of adoption service logo (gives you an inside as to what the couple are there for). There is then a mid two shot of the couple. The couple start talking about how they have been unable to have a baby for the past year. It then goes into a flash back of what as happened within the past year through all of this titles are still accruing as the camera has an over view of town.
This film opening starts of with a plain black background with 20th century fox which is a well known filming production. Then the film opening begins to cover production and cast names, the first title which is shown is ' A John Hughes production' this allows the audience to be aware that the film which is about to be presented is of a John Hughes collection of which the audience most likely has an insight as to what type of films this production company actually present. The next few titles are of cast names however on the third title a moon starts to appear from the left hand side corner, it slowly fades and becomes a long distance shot. Once this image of a house on a black plain background appears the titles HOME ALONe appear however the home appears from the left hand side of the house and the alone appears on the right hand side of the house. The Alone is marked with a small e this is significant as it catches the audience's eye and leaves them on a climax as to why. At this stage the moon which once appeared fades away and both the HOME and ALONe fades out the same way as the audience first saw it.
Throughout this a black background is still consistent. The final title of which we are shown is Music By... the house image is now rather small and still in the background. The music which is used for the first 60 seconds is a soft orchester with a dominating piano. The camera then skips to a long shot of which it is placed on the top of a wealthy looking house at the top of the staircase, this allows the audience to understand what is going on the house of which rather busy a chaotic. At the bottom of the staircase are children running around and a police man standing in the middle of them looking rather confused as to what is going on.
