This high angle camera shot shows Reggie lying on the ground. This shows him as an inferior character as he is at a low angle. This would be a typical camera angle for a nerd character.
This use of editing may not be typical of a teen film however street fighter, video game element about it could be used as a reference to the nerd characters love for video games. I think this was a clever way to represent Reggie's brutal beating by his brother.
This mise en scene is a classic example of a teen film convention. The jacked up trousers, checked shirt and tie are all items of clothing you would expect to find this character wearing in a typical teen film.
For sound, i think the voice of Reggie is a good example from our film as a typical convention for sound. i used a well spoken, sometimes stuttering voice to portray this nerd character. i think that i probably considered the stereotypical voice of a nerd.
Overall, i think we stuck to the conventions of a teen film. The area where we excelled in this was probably mise en scene, specifically the costume as i feel if a complete stranger glanced at that charater on the street they would instantly think they are a nerd. the area where i think we could have improved the conventions was probably the camerawork. i think we could have incorporated more high and low angle shots to show how inferior the nerd character is.
