10 Things I Hate about you

 

 

 

10 Things i hate about you, by gil hunger! Bianca, a beautiful high school sophomore, longs for a social life. But her father will not let her date until her older sister Kat does. Sound familiar? This is an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" set in a Tacoma, Washington high school. The movie benefits from appealing performers and some genuinely fresh and funny dialogue!

The opoening scene of the films consists of showing the school and areas around the school to show the audience where the setting of the film is going to be.The first image that appears on the screens starts of as a cartoon of teh urban setting then turn into a real city this could connote that the setting is real but their could be a side of the story that is child like or maybe a bit of a dreamland.

A pan camera movement is used to setting the scene so the audience know where about the characters are living, while this is happening some characters are shown but not in detail because they are not the main characters but audience knows that the main characters are surround by people. The first characters that are shown with a mid shot of a group of girls in a car which shows the audience that these character has an important input into the film because they are the main focus in the frame.In the opposite car their one girl but she is different from the other girls which connotes that their could be a conflict between them because their are on opposites side of the road than their are completely different from each other.Another way the audience gets the feeling there is trouble between is the looks the characters in each car are giving each other. The group girls are your topical teenager group with there hair and make-up done however the other character is more of the topical teenager geek who doesn’t care about what she looks like or what people think about her.
