1. In the film Ferris Bueuller’s day out the character Ferris talks to the audience
directly in order for the audience to be more connected to the film.
Cinematography is used to set the audience up for the world of the film e.g. close-
up of a dull looking teacher talking. Ferris’s narrative style makes the audience
question why they don’t have more sick days or enjoy life more. The theme of the
film is also something that many teenagers can personally relate to seeming as
every teenager at some point had to go to school. Juno is also a believable character because she
seems like an average teen. Although the approach she takes towards having the baby is quite
comical; comical is an approach I’d expect the average teenager to take at the beginning of having a
baby. The narrative style is in chronological order, which helps us follow the story along with Juno,
so we experience events as she does. Juno’s fellow students were talking about her behind her back
and staring at her, which is the reaction the audience would expect to see. Making the narrative and
characters realistic the audience are able to understand the world of the film more and feel like a
part of it. Little Miss Sunshine made a believable world and character. This was due to the fact that
at the beginning of the trailer everyone was arguing and shouting at each other, so it
was boring and annoying. The audience felt like how the characters felt because they
would be annoyed with the fact that they had to listen to the argument. When
something more interesting like the beauty pageant came along I also got
excited because I didn’t have to listen to the arguing. The cinematography
makes us feel like part of the family e.g. high-key lighting when the little girl is screaming. When she
was screaming the audience and I felt excited for/with her. In Y tu mamá también we are shown the
life of the two brothers through fast cuts. We also see the brothers kissing other girls, drinking ect
and the music is fast pace and upbeat. This suggests that the brothers live an upbeat
fast pace lifestyle and the editing makes the audience live this fast pace lifestyle too.
The film shows us the love triangle between the brothers and another woman. We see
them both fall for her and fight each other for her. Every now and then during the
trailer we cut to a black screen with text with things like “life has a way of teaching
us”, which makes the audience as well as the characters learn this lesson to. This gives the audience
a better understanding of the actual film and what the characters are going to have to go through.
The characters are believable because they act like their age group e.g. the two brothers drinking,
which is something that young people in their late teens/20 do a lot of. We then see them grow up
into men once they experience their first love. This is a rite of passage everyone has to go through,
which is when they realise that they have to grow up because they can’t be kids anymore.
