evaluation question 1

conventions in our film

Convention: The way things are normally done; a set pattern.

 With our film we have used more conventions than challenging them. We follow the format of the popular girl being the mean girl who looks at people as mere 'associates' however we also challenge and develop the mean and popular girl persona with the fact that we made her pregnant and we done graded her clothing choices to what film conventions would deem as 'the outcast' or 'misfit' (instead of bright, pastel colours or even skirts, shorts or crop tops we put her layers; a hoodie, jacket, jeans and sneakers pieces of mise-en-scene that isn't commonly associated with the popular girl). Also with our movie we followed the convetion of having a age range of 16 - 18 which is the common target audience of teen films.

 Regarding the sound that we used we decided to stick to the convention of using popular and well known music because we found that having our movie going mainstream ment that it had to connect with our audience in more ways than just mise-en-scene and setting - having a well known song means that more groups of teens can find our movie relatable.
