Conventions

This is a mid-shot of both characters together sitting on the bed. This conforms to the conventions of a teen film because it shows both characters laughing and gossiping this shows there friendship and is something all teenage girls do when they get together.

The production company logo comes up at the very begining of the film as it does in all teen and other genre films. This is what the audience will first see. We decided to use this logo because it was the most eye-catching and original logo.

Ideas

These photos are of our brainstorm which we made to think of initial ideas for our Teen Film. We thought about certain areas such as conventions, techniques and film openings we could look at in our genre.

Research film 1

We are researching the opening credits to teen films. The first teen film I am looking at is Juno. It starts of with the production company logo fading into the image of “Juno” walking. Non-diegetic music is playing in the background. People are running past her and are not taking any notice of her and when she walks behind the tree there is a transition into a cartoon. Were she enters a cartoon land and then the opening titles start coming up.

Our Plans for now are :
Our film is going to be targeted at teenagers.
