RepresentationOf Teenagers within our opening sequence.

In our opening sequence we have followed a typical stereotypical view of teenagers that being rebellious and always up to no good. The first instance where this can be seen is in our first shot of all the characters walking into the grave yard in which the two males have their hoods up which shows how they don’t want to be identified or seen. The reason being for this is because they are underage drinking and other activities which are deemed to be immoral. This image of the hoods up also helps connect the audience as they must have seen some teenagers who just from first look are intimidating and isolated from society within their own group. Further more, the clothes in which they are wearing are mainly black or grey which shows no implication of happiness or fun but rather indicates rock, dark things such as emo’s. Additionally, the representation is further developed more through mise-en-scene where the props which are bottles and a lighter show reckless behavior and they have no respect.

The sound track that plays through out links to the representation as it is like a punk/rock feel to it which adds to the isolation that teenagers have within society as typically both older and younger generations are less likely to like this style of music as it promotes violence and is often graphic. The music is also unique in a way that horrors are often slow and then build up however this music gives the impression that the teenagers might be the danger themselves as when ever there is a spike in the music they are there which communicates to the audience that they are vulnerable even though at the beginning they seem fearless and barely fazed by the fact they are drinking in a graveyard. This is communicated through their body language as they are not hunched over grouped closely together in fact when one of them goes missing they are worried but not to the extent that a mother would be!

Finally, the titles looked rushed and in a messy manor showing carelessness which again links to the teenagers. As well as the cracked wall type platform where they come up on could link to their usual settings showing how they don’t care and its quite rundown and not a nice place to be in the public eye.
