Evalutation question 1:


As a group we decided to record an interview with a cast member as we thought that this would be a good way to discuss the conventions of film openings,how we followed them and the conventions of title sequences. What I forgot to say during the interview is that we did challenge one of the main conventions of teen movies which is that they are mostly Hollywood. Whereas our film is a British production for a British audience.

We followed a conventional order for our titles,this it the order in which all teen film titles appear as. I have created a video of our title sequence.



Intertextual characters: 
On the left is Safia who plays the character of Chloe. Chloe is represented as being the princess in the film. while watching the film you are able to undertand that she is the princess because she is dressed inappropritely for camping,she's wearing a dress and she has brang a suitcase whereas everyone else brang bags with them. Her character was inspired by Dana from the movie The Cabin in the woods. The character of Chloe is very similar to Dana because in the movie The Cabin in the woods Dana is seen as the princess in the group. 


 On the left is Shahed who plays the character of Aaron. Aaron is represented as being the Jock in the group. Aaron is the guy in school who everyone wants to be like and all of the girls are jealous that his bestfriend is Chloe. Even Jack is jealous of their friendship. The character of Aaron was inspired by the character of Steve from the movie Scream. Steve is also represented as being the jock and because of this he is killed during the film. 


On the left is myself(Rusne) and I play the character of Katie in the film. Katie is represented as being the geek in the group. She is the girl in school who always gets the best grades and everyone is jealous of that. She's been friends with Chloe and Aaron for a while but she still has a very close friendship with Jack. My character was inspired by Sara from The Roommate. Sara is very similar to Katie as they are both the type of people who study because they want to get far in life. But what they never expect to happen is for one of their bestfriends to turn against them.


On the left is Tho who plays the character of Jack. jack is represented as being the creepy guy out of the group. He's had some bad argurments with Chloe and Aaron which has only left him with one real friend and that is Katie. But even their friendship won't stop his plan. The character of Jack was inspired by the character of Rebecca from the movie The Roommate. Rebecca is the new girl on campus and she soon becomes best friends with her roommate but then she becomes very jealous and ends up wanting to kill everyone who even talks to her best friend. Both of these characters are very similar because the reason they both decide to commit murder is because of jealously.
