Task 2
Camera work:
Tracking shot was used in the extract 'Angus,Thongs and Perfect Snogging' when Georgia is running down a path away from a party back home in her olive costume. The connotative effect of this is that it makes the audience feel pitty for Georgia. Some may epathise or feel sorry for her. This is sterotypical for the target audience of 12-16 year old girls because some times they will do embarrassing things and just want to run a way from it all.
Another shot would be POV shot, this is used in the extract when Georgia is running down the street and you see the old people looking at her and staring. The connnotative effect of this is embarrassment and tension, you may feel paranoid that people are looking at you too. This links with the target audience because teenage girls always feel paranoid people are looking at them and judging them so in turn they can relate to this.
Soundtrack:
Digetic sound is used within the extract when Georgia walks into the party and everyone laughs at her. The connotative effect of this is adrenaline and excitment aswell as engagment because people like to judge others as much as we dont like to admit it its human nature everyone does it. So it makes you aware of whats going on even if you don't realise at first.
Amplified sound is used in the extract when Georgia is jumping on her olive costume in a strop. The connotative effect of this is it creates adrenaline because you don't know what she is going to do next and you feel her anger of the previouse evernts too. As well as creating excitment ans adrenaline. This links with the target audience because teenage girls oftern find themselves in a strop if things don't go their way or to plan.
Mise en scene:
Party iconography is used within the extract with the part cups and food as well as the costumes and fancy dress. The connotative effect of this on the audience is excitment and engagment you feel as if you're in the party too. This links to the target audience because teenagers oftern spend their time at parties with friends sterotypically.
The setting is rather busy and has a lot going on in it. The connotative effect of this is excitment, tension and embarrassment as you know as the audience a lot of people means a lot of people to stare at Georgia along with laugh at her.
Representation:
Gerogia was a countertype within the extract as she is wearing an stuffed olive party costume to a fancy dress party, she has mid-length hair and isn't really skinny. Although she has some sterotypical feautures as she is white, british and pretty.
Jazz is a sterotypical girl in the extract along with Lindsey. They are both wearing revealing fancy dress costumes, Jazz going in a devils costume with a low neck line and Lindsey in the sterotypical black cat fnacy dress costume. Also they both have long hair and skinny and pretty.
The world created is one of embarrassment, upset and bad decisions. This is showed when Goergia decided to wear a stuffed Olive costume instead of something revealing like most steotypical girls. You feel embarrassed for Georgia when she is being laughed at and whispered about, along with strangers staring at her in the streets. And Georgia becomes extremly upset over this and ends up crying into her bed face down ashamed.
Whats included within the extract is old people, women, some men, a baby, teenagers, and white bristsh people. What is excluded in the extract are religious people.
The title:
The title is in serif font which attracts an audience of teenage girls, because curls and curves sterotypically attract females because they look pretty.
The font is rather large so that it take sup half of the the screen so that you can't miss it which makes it easier for teenagers to read.
The colour of the font is completly white, white connotes innocence and freedom, teenage girls are rather innocent to the outside worldand what is going on around them, but as they get older and begin to grow up they find themselves with more freedom to do more. Its also gender neutral for a colour meaning it has a wider range of people that it can attract.
