Long shot of normal suburban environment, low angle of child walking showing her to be an independent and confident individual. long shot of daughter with father shows them to have a close and loving relationship-establishes a sense of equilibrium. high angle shot of monster used connotes danger, suggests the characters within that scene are in danger, long shot of explosion again connotes danger ahead and disruption to the equilibrium. These shots give the opening a more dramatic edge, and implore the audience to keep watching having establishes the characters. mid shot of the protagonist Sarah Jane shows her to be working with some kind of technology-suggests she is very intelligent however this contrasts the homely surroundings and her demeanor with her son, shows her have the role of the heroin and the motherly figure that the children look up too.
The CGI used in the titles establishes the sci-fi-TV drama hybrid, as the swirling colours connote time travel and space and most children's TV drama's open with an animated title sequence. The soundtrack also connotes science fiction, the audience would possibly associate many of the sounds with UFO'S, aliens etc. As the theme tune is very similar to the series Doctor Who, it establishes it as a spin -off but also may draw audiences in as it predecessor is so well established. it is also an indexical symbol of the content of the show as the audience would be familiar with the characters and the plot lines, with sarah jane taking on the role of the doctor and the younger characters, in particular her son being her companions.
