Genre Drama/ coming of age Drama film is a genre that relies on the emotional and relational development of realistic characters. While Drama film relies heavily on this kind of development, dramatic themes play a large role in the plot as well. Often, these dramatic themes are taken from intense, real life issues. Whether heroes or heroines are facing a conflict from the outside or a conflict within themselves, Drama film aims to tell an honest story of human struggles.
Coming of age… KiDULTHOOD American teen dramas: • Mean girls? • Twilight? • Juno?
Juno analysis • Using animation to create an innocent beginning • Close up of shoes –introducing character • Title alongside character • Pan from film • Associated guitars, house to other characters • Uses birds eye view (variety of camera shots) • Actual opening sequence useful in comparison with our piece
Kidulthood analysis • White on black title • Quick flashes of characters • Showing themes • Medium shot • Handheld • Music stops • Light humour to soften the story
Ideas from skins… • Established characters • Shocking/over the top • New/modern • Different themes • Audience are relatable • Cinematography • Settings • New music, related to audience
Initial idea • Establishing characters within the beginning • Quirky, use camera effects and creative shots • Night life – dark low light, flashing lights • Party – Blur? People, mess, bass music (Pendulum) • Integrated titles - lipstick on the mirror • Morning – time lapse sun rise, remembering • Non diegetic sound of shop ring • Girl in the loo … • Pregnancy test (out of shot) “oh shit”
