In the opening of The Breakfast Club the location of where the film is set is introduced. There are several close ups used, for example the clock,the canteen and the lockers. There are also several long shots used, for example the hallway, the lockers and the hall. At 3:10 the characters get introduced. 'The Princess' arrives to school in a BMW and this is how we find out that she is the popular girl in the school. Then the nerd is introduced, he is represented as being the nerd by the way that he is dressed and because his mum tells him to "figure out a way to study". Then the athlete is introduced,  we know that he is the athlete because he wears a baseball jacket. The bully is introduced, and then the basket case. We know that she is the basket case because of the way that she is dressed.

Analysis of the teen movie 'Easy A'

At the very beginning of the film the music is very upbeat and moving, we then see various snaps of the area such as the local town, the Ojai sign and the American flag. We also see Ojai North High School  and hear the school bell which suggests that the film is going to be teen related. In the next scene we're shown the whole school in a point of view shot and we see loads of students walking around, this makes it more believable that it is a school environment. During this there is a voice over of a girl telling her story and her position at Ojai North. The director uses a a track movement shot to show all the different subcultures at the school.The first time we binary opposition is between teachers and students. The characters are all dressed to their part, the students all look young and are dress accordingly to how young people are dressed and the teachers are dressed more smartly so it is easy to tell them apart. The director also uses a flashback to give us an insight of why the girl doesn't want to go on a camping trip with her friend and her family.

In the next scene the director speeded up the paced to show how fast rumours speed in high school and it also shows everyone talking about the rumour or receiving a text about it.
