In the opening sequence of the film, 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2', we get a mid shot of baby Groot dancing while his friends are fighting a monster in the background. There is also a happy upbeat pop song playing in the background. This use of sound makes an intense fight scene seem like everything is going to be okay. We can tell this is diegetic because the song does not start playing until Groot turns on the speaker. Also, Groot is dancing to the beat of the song. Next, every time a character is shown on screen, the actor's name appears next to them in a futuristic like font. This is to remind the audience that this film takes place in a futuristic sci-fi galaxy. In addition, the names of the actor's showing up when a character appears shows the significance of the actor to the franchise.
In the next part of the opening sequence, we can see Groot's friends trying to warn Groot to get out of the way so he doesn't get hurt. This is to remind the audience that baby Groot is not the same as regular Groot. Baby Groot is not as strong as Groot which is why his friends are trying to warn him to stay clear of the fight. To add to my point, we also see Groot trying to ride this small rodent-like creature. Groot is struggling, which is another indicator that baby Groot is not as powerful as he used to be.
In the opening sequence of the film, 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2', the director uses many different techniques to show the audience the importance of some characters and how fragile Groot is.
