2. Opening shot/pan shot
This shot is for the purpose to give a sense of
the setting and location. From the font of the
writing we are thinking it is handwriting which
is a convention of teen drama. Also the bright
colors convey a teen film as they are blues,
greens and whites which signifies an upbeat
film. The camera movement In this is a
tracking shot from left to right.
The whole idea of this shot is to get an idea of
the setting and location that the film is in.
3. The car scene – Mid shot
Here we see two binary opposite character types or otherwise know as
cliques in teen dramas. In the left shot we have 3 girls , looking happy, smug
– we get the impression they are popular from there stage presence . Also
there car is clean and looks quite new. Then we cut to the next shot straight
after which is the girl by herself in a what looks pretty old car and she is
looking straight forward. The fact she's by herself the audience typically
think she has no friends and is not popular. This is the idea we get .
This is a crab camera movement of both mid shots of both scenes.
4. Establishing shot
The purpose of this shot is to show
the setting in more detail. This
shot is different to the opening
shot because the establishing shot
gives in more detail the setting
and location. From this shot we
can see it is set in a school as
there are children and it is a huge
building. Also the shot there is no
open space above the shot which
signifies the building is important.
5. Close up shot – Main character
We can tell this is a main
character or one of them
because there is a close-up
shot and this happens a lot
thought-out the film. From
the shots we can see she
has a natural look about her
and we get quite an
innocent look from her. In
every shot we can see she
isn't wearing a lot of
makeup and even none.
From her facial expressions
she comes across as a cold
person.
