ST TRINIAN’S - Opening Scene

St Trinian’s

The first we see is how produced and who distributed the film with al their logos. We know it has been funded by the National Lottery and it be Ealing Studios, UK film council and Entertainment Film where the distributors of this film.

Then we see this shocking pink colour and from this we know the film will be quite girly and most of the actor may be all girls. From even seeing the film title St Trinian’s it seem quite girly and posh too.

The colour pink and black are mainly used just for the introduction and we get the feeling the theme is quite punky and rock chick, we knows punk for being violent and the little images resembles people being violent to one another this add anchorage to the shots.

The text of the titles of the film seems quite old Victorian stencil print text,

There is edit and zooms in into a burning car  which add more violence and this makes the viewers think there will be violence in this film , so one theme crime and violence liked to the younger generation.

A girl who well presented, quite posh is disturbed by the site of the car and it seems as though she does not fit in this place. Tracking is used to follow the continuation and this also helps the viewer follow the actions and shows that not just the car but viewers are heading to same destination but is unsure and unaware to expect of just like the girl in the car. The first few characters that are shown in the opening scene tend to be one or the other main character through out the film.

A pan is used to show the car driving inside the woods it seems quite enclosed and the girl may be represented as to feeling quite trap and does not belong here, just a long winded  road and never ending.

You see a low angle point of view of the whole school and this makes viewers seems quite intimating and not a very nice place to be at especially for new girls who are joining the school. Tracking is used to follow the car and see the action.

We get the feeling the girls in the school miss behave quite a lot especially when we see the table falling out of the window behind them. The Dad over looks and still wants the daughter to go to this school. This is another situation that hits the younger generation … parents not listening to teenager and doing what they think is best for their child. Even though the child does not want to do it so being forced into things they don’t feel right about or being pressurise into things.
