  1. Question Two: How does your film opening represent particular social groups?

  2. Conventional Representations of the social groups in our opening sequence – Two Extremes • From Parents’ Perspectives: • Rebellious • Irresponsible • Uncontrollable • Loud • Helpful • Hard-working • Motivated • Important

  3. From Teachers’ Perspective • Rude • Ill-mannered • Impossible to discipline • Hyperactive • Formal • Polite • Studious • Thoughtful

  4. In the mass media Teenagers are portrayed as very negative figures in the mass media; words like ‘rebellious’ and ‘violent’ are often connotations of the word ‘teenager’ amongst the mass media. They are also portrayed as fun-loving ‘party animals’ addicted to technology – particularly ‘apps’ and social media platforms.

  5. So, does our opening sequence stick to these stereotypes, and does it present other groups, if yes, how?

  6. Teenagers in our opening sequence are presented as many of the things mentioned in the previous slide; • Fun-loving • Rebellious • Loud

  7. Fun-Loving By having a relatively speedy changes in our varying types of shots, we presented teenagers as fun-loving because this conveys a sense of fast-flowing action and thinking. Exhilaration is also conveyed. Our choice of music also conveys a fun-loving presentation of teenagers as the lyrics are suggestive of young people staying young through their actions – “Don’t tell me our youth is running out”

  8. Rebellious Teenagers are presented as rebellious in our opening sequence through aspects of the mise-en-scene be it props such as the alcohol resembling drinks which, the characters in our movie are not of age to drink, the cigarettes and drugs which are illegal due to their nature and the age of the characters, the promiscuous costumes worn by many of the female characters which are not socially “correct” in the eyes of stereotypical adults or the facial expressions of the characters which suggest enjoyment of the rebellious acts.

  9. Loud The characterisation of teenagers as loud is present in our opening sequence through the use of sound which, though is non-diegetic, is the type of track that is likely to be popular in a party. The diegetic sound is conveyed as loud through the facial expressions ad body language of the characters.
