EVALUATION Q1 (COMPLETED)

A Convention is something that you expect to find in a film, in this case a teen film. this can be anything to do with camerawork, mise en scene, editing and sound.



This high angle camera shot shows Reggie lying on the ground. This shows him as an inferior character as he is at a low angle. This would be a typical camera angle for a nerd character.



This use of editing may not be typical of a teen film however street fighter, video game element about it could be used as a reference to the nerd characters love for video games. I think this was a clever way to represent Reggie's brutal beating by his brother.



This mise en scene is a classic example of a teen film convention. The jacked up trousers, checked shirt and tie are all items of clothing you would expect to find this character wearing in a typical teen film.

For sound, i think the voice of Reggie is a good example from our film as a typical convention for sound. i used a well spoken, sometimes stuttering voice to portray this nerd character. i think that i probably considered the stereotypical voice of a nerd.





Overall, i think we stuck to the conventions of a teen film. The area where we excelled in this was probably mise en scene, specifically the costume as i feel if a complete stranger glanced at that charater on the street they would instantly think they are a nerd. the area where i think we could have improved the conventions was probably the camerawork. i think we could have incorporated more high and low angle shots to show how inferior the nerd character is.
