3. The characters represented in the opening sequence are nerds the
audience know this due to the fact that they are told this y the narrator in
the opening sequence

5. In the opening sequence they seem to use bright light and made
it look as it was very natural in order to convey to the audience
that the film is naturalistic and that the events that happen in
then film are real life events that happen in the real world. This
lighting could also be used as a reminder to the audience that the
film is formed around kids and teenagers which makes the
audience look back and realize that the adult activities are
committed by the youth.
The props used are also very naturalistic which
continues the effect of the film being true and
naturalistic. We would expect props such as cars and
bikes in a neighbourhood which make the film more
believable as we feel that it is real.
By using bright colours for costume helps to emphasise the fact
that the film is based around young people and that young people
wear brighter colours but it also connotes a sense of happiness in
the beginning of the film. The bright colours also help to show the
audience that the fil has elements of comedy and laughter.
Media Language

6. This point of view shot helps to create the effect
of one of the characters watching someone which
helps the audience work out who the characters
are looking at in the image on the left
At this moment in the opening sequence they use a following shot
at wide shot , this creates the effect of the character taking the
audience on a journey through his neighbourhood. We are able to
see a lot of the surroundings and day to day activities that occur
which helps the audience make a connection with the characters
life
By having an extreme close-up and a close up of
music based props emphasise the importance of
music in the film which the audience fin out later on
in the film is one of the few things that brings the
teenagers together

7. Media language displays this representation
through the way that the characters dress, you
ca see this through the fact that they have their
shirts tucked in which is a natural stereotype of
a geek. However this is contrasted by the fact
that the character is wearing popular shoes
which adds on to the positive representation of
them.
