The genre gets established staright as the first few sedcdoends in begin, we see two new characters talking on the bed, with the boys top, we can only assume this is only his sister or girlfriend we can tell this is drama film due to the lack of action and more quiet and laied back film.

The opening scene introduce's us to two new characters through a pan shot of them in italy. This shows us the location in which the scene is based on. A low shot then occurs of the boy looking out the window to reprsent his wealth and his status in this film. The audience understand that he is the main charcater due to his screen time and primarly always tracking shots following him, with everything he does, so the audience understands this. 

Text is shown on the screen to show the audience the location and time of the scene helps the audience get a better understanding. It reads 'summer 1983', this gives the audience relevance and better understanding of the film, we can also tell that this is based in summer due to the bright, hot setting outside with all the windows open. Aswell as the costumes being shorts and sunglasses on every character. An above tracking shot is used to follow the car entering the driveway, an above shot is kept, to show the interaction between the characters but not introducing the new characters to the audience yet. 

Three new characters gets introduced with an interaction through a dialoyge scene of a man coming to stay at the familys house. The young man invites the man into his bedroom and a close up shot is shown as he lays down on the bed.

This film is targeted to a young adult audience due to the main characters being teenagers we know this because of their costumes and anarisms. This also means that the audience can releate to the actors and the link between what is going on. 

In conclusion the opening scene 'call me by your name' is succesful and perfect for the targeted audience aswell as a good drama. The opening scene invites us to follow the life of the main character and works well with leading the audience in to watch more.
