Genre Research

Our film opening is the genre of a teen drama.
There are conventions of a teen drama which usually are consistent throughout all films of the genre.
The conventions are:
Drug/ alcohol use
Popularity status/ friendship groups
Dramatic narrative.

As our film was only the opening, we managed to use the conventions of alcohol use (where Aubrey is walking home drunk with a bottle of alcohol in her hand.
Additionally, we used Dramatic narrative to fit with the genre conventions. We did this by the use of argument between Aubrey and her mother, Caroline.

SCRIPT

Aubrey is walking home from a party where the girl who she likes (Riley) just was. She seems absent minded due to being drunk still from the previous events but with a slight smile as she is reminiscing the enjoyable night she just experienced. Aubrey is seen stumbling and kicking puddles distractedly.

(Aubrey arrives home and drunkenly stumbles into the house)

Mum: Where have you been?

Aubrey: (drunkenly puts her hand over her head and sways whilst she speaks. Speaks slowly and stammers slightly. Says aggressively) I told you were I was. You know I had a party.

Mum: (speaks with an overall disappointed tone) I told you 11 at the latest. It’s 2am for goodness sake, what were you even doing?! (long silence, begins to speak slowly and sternly) You were with that Riley girl again, weren’t you?

Aubrey: who cares who I was with

Mum: I know whatever this is, is not just friends and I do not in the slightest approve of it. You are a child of God

Aubrey (Looks straight at mum, begins to answer but then gets cut off) it’s not what you think… and even if it was like that, I don’t see what’s wrong with it.

Mum: (tears in her eyes, straight face and stern voice) I’m sick of looking at you. Get out of my sight now.

(Aubrey storms up to her room. A short clip is shown of her packing her bag and slamming the front door.)

(Aubrey runs towards a field, wiping tears from her eyes)

(Upon arrival at the field, she slumps down to the floor and puts her head in her hands for 5 seconds. She then looks around in a distressed manner; she spots Riley walking towards her from the distance- long shot)

(Riley caringly approaches Aubrey, sits down next to her and grabs her hand – emphasis on this moment -)

Riley: (quiet and lovingly) I heard you slam the door.

Aubrey: (wipes tears from her face) Its nothing. My mum just doesn’t understand

(Riley lights a cigarette and has a puff, then passes the cigarette to Aubrey)

Riley: I understand, my dad doesn’t approve either

(long silence and stare longingly at eachother, background music builds up and gets louder, then stops all at once. Black screen with title shows (untamed))
