Teen Angst Title Sequences

Juno - Title Sequence
Music - Country, Upbeat and happy - Positive film, Light hearted
Camera Shots - Long shot, Tracking at the very start
Everything looks like it has been drawn, animated - Associated with younger people, seen as fun and appeals to a teenage audience.
Cartoony font, Sans serif and brightly coloured - Again shows it is a fun and upbeat and more aimed at teenagers.
Different colours for different parts of the title sequence, E.G The actor names which shows who is important.
High School football team run past shows the film is to do with high school
Emphasis on her drinking Sunny D straight from the carton - Teenage thing to do.
Inclusion of teenage character wearing casual teenage clothes.

Easy A - Title Sequence
Music - Very upbeat and happy - Positive film and light-hearted
Setting is a high school - Shows what the film is going to be about (Teenage Drama)
Main Character Narrating (Voiceover) - Making jokes shows it is light-hearted and a comedy and establishing what it is about.
Casual clothing - Stereotypical for teenagers
Teacher was wearing smarter clothing  - Authorative figure
Editing - Cuts at the start to show the location of the film - Montage
Music and Voiceover is Sound layering.
Mid shot tracking of  the popular girls and them knocking over the main character shows the hierarchy of the school
Students are walking around and the titles appear diagonally behind them.
More plain font and colours than Juno.

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging-
Music - Also very upbeat and happy - Positive and Light Hearted
Stereotypical groups - Popular girls at the Halloween party and she is the misfit group
Party - Usual place for teenagers to be
Stereotypical teenage girl room - Shows what it is going to be about
Set in a very down to earth place.





Superbad -
Music - An upbeat song but it is not as modern as the other opening sequences like Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging using A very modern song at the time.
Like Juno it uses animation for the majority of the title sequence when the main characters are dancing to the music. The dancing is also not very good which shows that it is going to be a comedy teen angst film.
After this first animated part there is a short part of the two main characters talking about which adult website they would like to pay for next year which could be seen as stereotypical for teenage boys as they will usually be hormonal and enjoy them sort of websites.

Ferris Beullers Day off -
At the very start he is prentending to be sick so he can get a day off school which is fairly stereotypical for teenagers as they dont want to go to school and will try to get days off. As soon as he is allowed to stay at home and his parents leave very upbeat music starts playing and Ferries Beuller breaks the forth wall and talks directly to the audience explaining what just happened. This makes the audience feel like they are a part of the film.
