Story lines and Plot blog

how are binary oppositions established in the beginning of teen movies?

in the movie 21 jump street the story line in the opening scene many binary opposites are presented, one of these is is the binary opposition of stereotypes "jocks" and "nerds" which is popular and relatable within the teen audience. another binary opposite present is the idea of relationships as the nerd asks out a popular girl, but gets turned down and made fun of by the jock.






















Question 6


Question 4


who watches teen films?

teen films are generally watched by teens specifically as they are created to appeal directly to them. however in some cases teen movies reach a wider audience through not following standards set by the genre. an example of this is Kidulthood which instead of creating characters which teens can relate to and therefore be entertained by, creates an extremely compelling and entertaining narrative. this is something we aimed for when creating our film, rather than making a "teen film" we aimed to make a film by teens, involving teens but not have it narrowly directed for teens. 

The genre which we aimed to appeal to is very wide, for we attempted to create a fleshed out character portrayed completely by visuals rather than dialogue, and make the film focus directly on him rather than a group. this meant he could be described to the audience visually in much greater detail, and through this character steering away from most teen stereotypes we hoped to draw in a much larger audience.


Question 5



*only watch the first video

In order to reach our audience we created a facebook page and encouraged people to like and share it, in an ideal scenario however i imagine bus posters and movie trailers being created and distributed in order to promote the movie, however due to us not having any real budget that was impossible.
