Film Openings: Teen Drama

SH Adventureland (2009, Mottola):
  • Opening credits are simplistic as it is a drama, however the film title 'Adventureland' has bright lettering which stand out.
  • '1987' - setting of the film.
  • The first shot is a CU of a teenager who is also the first character to speak. This establishes the teenager as the lead role.
  • House party, alcohol, loud music - establishes the set as a typical teen setting

  1. Cheers for this Sam, i think we need to research independent films, as it will be hard for us to replicate or compare ourselves to the ability of the Hollywood Studios,

  2. I agree maybe do a 50/50 split of Industrial films and Independant films, as the more ideas we can get the better and can contrast the differences between the two.
