Piont 10 Full Anaylisis of St Trinian's

Full Textual Analysis of St Trinian’s
Point 10.

I have chosen to analysis St Trinians opening titles as it is closely linked to the Filmhouse Production Company most recent film. The similar aspects included the setting linking with mise en scene because it is set in a school.
There is two parts of this opening title which I find very interesting to compare and analysis together, the first section is an animated and is a pink girlie shot of the title swiping between the names of the production team and lead actors the interesting part of this shot is that amongst the girlie pink there is little doodles of dead people, skulls, red ink which connotes with blood and police. They give the idea that this film is not as innocent and sweet as first thought. The fount used throughout both sections of the opening titles is uneven and scribbly. This symbols childlike rebellion which this film is really about. In the second section of the opening titles is a simple setting of a car driving through country roads to make this interesting they use a variety of different shots including wide pan and tilt.
The mise en scene is used to create character and setting, The classy car drive through beautiful English countryside represents a wealthy sophidecated characters but there is a contrast when the classy car drives past a burning car which looks like something of a American gangster movie. It looks very out of place. The Characters are dressed in vey formal classy cloths there appearance and their social etiquette m makes them seem upper class and rather arrogant. The girl wearing a very prestige school uniform and hair is smarty tied back almost childlike. The way they stand, speak and walk also makes the characters seem as if they posh. The girl looks very spoiled and grumpy because she is not getting want she wants.
The second half of the opening titles is shots of the car driving. This is made it interesting and the stunning location help the establishing shots to have a big impact on the audience. There was high angle, low angle, tilt shots, pan and wide shots used to create this sequence. There is a low angle shot used to shot the building this is used to make it looks big and powerful.
