how does the film establish an enigma from the outset?
The film establishes an enigma from the onset because it immediately cuts to a scene of children playing. They are chasing each other while the adults yell at them to behave. The kids are chasing the protagonist, Lyra. This chase sets the tone for the rest of the movie. Lyra is racing against time throughout the movie because she is trying to save children from being magically severed from their daemons.

what strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
The film immediately cuts to images of magical dust, witches, and talking animals to appeal to those who like fantasy.
how has technology been used effectively?
Technology has been used effectively with the CGI. The animals that have been used throughout the film, such as the ice bears, are somewhat realistic looking. The close-up shots used are effective because they capture the happiness and sense of wonder in the children who are playing. The voice over is effective because it explains the universe of the Golden Compass but is still engaging because the images of the dust, witches, and animals captivate the audience.
