KS: Research task: TEEN DRAMA

This conventional TV Drama narrative style has a linear structure formed of 3 sections to the opening. First the characters are established and ask to meet the girlfriend, next we meet her, and finally the title animation. The characters are traditionally introduced with a series of mid shots and the use of text on the side so the audience is able to develop a visual presentation then are given the characters name and personal information. The form of this clip included a non digetic voice over, a traditional technique to position the main character with the audience and to develop his perspective on the narrative; the establishing of location and stock characters, and lastly the use of titles on a graphic background and the special effects which create a game style to the piece. 'Scott Pilgrim' represents post modern styles, a break with conventions with inter-textual references to 'Star Wars' and the art of gaming.
