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.
PROS = - The music corresponds well with the actions on screen; for example a bang is used at the same time a character falls down. - We think the opening suits the genre very well because the chaacters are youthful, the music is upbeat, and the setting is typical for a teen rom/com. - Stock characters are made obvious from the beginning i.e. Geek, Bitch. - Camera shots are used effectively to create continuity.
CONS = - We thought as a group that the clarity of the voiceover could have been improved so it was easier to understand and hear.

ReplyDelete- editing of the fall and music stopping at exact point is good
