The document describes shots from a film sequence showing a main character stepping off a school bus and walking through the corridors of a school. It establishes that the character is the focus by having the camera follow him as he walks. Posters seen on the walls hint at future events, such as an upcoming prom. The character is shown to be unpopular as he walks through the school and the music stops, consistent with comedy genre conventions.
1. 6) Character walking
up to the front of
school, we do not
see his face, adds
mystery.
4) Shows the main
character stepping off the
bus, and the camer
follows him, signifying he
is the focus.
2) Shot of a school
bus, with a few
people stepping
off, sets the scene
in a college.
10) The last shots are just video,
of him walking through the
corridors where we see he is not
popular. The music “Slim shady”
which had been playing
previously stops dead, which is
typical of the comedy genre.
8) We see a
poster of Prom
as we get nearer
to the school,
which hints at
future events.

1) Text that sets the
scene. It says “The
year 2005” telling us
when it is set.
3) Opening
credits in a
blue and red
flashing siren
style,
supposed to
represent
the sirens of
a police car.
5) Repeating the
credits style, to show
the theme of the film
is a police, high action
movie.
7) More of the same
credits style. They are
contrasting with the
rest of the footage as
they are high action in
comparrison to him
walking to school.
9) Final opening credit,
says the title “21 Jump
Street” in the same font,
staying consistent with
the topic of the film.
