Positives: - non-diegetic music ends well - close ups of characters getting ready introduces characters well - good use of stereotypes - can identify the lead character well from the extreme close up at the beginning
Improvements: - actors names are on screen for different lengths of times - background noises change; disrupts the continuity
The way that the characters are not shown at the beginning but other aspects of them are, help the extreme close up of the main characters face stand out even more.
The non-diegetic music was a good choice and the way it stops when she falls and hits the ground is very effective!
The iconography is excellent throughout the opening; such as the lip gloss for the popular girl and the big glasses for the geeky girl, which are common things people associate with these characters.
We like the titles used and the way the title of the film stands out from the rest and it is also looks like an already made teen romance.
A range of accurate camera shots and camera movements have been used which has helped to portray the genre, such as the tilt up the jock character.
The only thing that our group would change would be the colours and the clothes of the popular girl. The fact she is blonde helps but it would of been more stereotypical if she was wearing pinks and bright colours.
Overall, our group thinks this opening is good quality and very well produced.
We really like the difference when it shows the different characters getting ready and how it doesn’t actually show you who the characters are until you get to the school. We like how the music stops as soon as the main character gets knocked on the floor. However, when you see the shots of the boy and girl, and the corridor in which she has just walked down, the two other bullies are not their, but surely they wouldn’t haven’t moved, or would be moving away. Other than that, we really like how this opening is.

ReplyDelete- editing of the fall and music stopping at exact point is good
- continuity is good
-background noise could have been blocked out.
