Today we are researching the narrative structure for the opening sequences which we have chosen.
The narrative of "It's a boy girl thing" is a romantic comedy intertwined with a high school teen drama. Two main characters are first introduced, a teen boy and a teen girl., they live across from each other, however at the beginning it is clear that they are both very different characters, who have very different interests. This is shown via music, clothes, breakfast and hobbies.
The narrative of "10 things I hate about you" is introducing two contrasting characters, who happen to be sisters, again using common subjects such as; contrasting music, image, clothes, interests and cars. This then introduces a third character, a boy, new to the high school environment and also not introduced to these two characters.
The narrative of "Mean Girls" is one character is first introduced as being thrown into a completely different environment then she is used to. She is then put into the high school environment, again unsure of the different people, styles, music, languages, etiquette of high school.

the editing technique of parallelism may be worth investigating here, as well as the sort of stereotypes we expect to find in the teen high school movie. Could add comment on what you intend to do in your op seq as a result of this research? (Mrs D)
