Romance: 10 things i hate about you

10 Things i hate about you, by gil hunger! Bianca, a beautiful high school sophomore, longs for a social life. But her father will not let her date until her older sister Kat does. Sound familiar? This is an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" set in a Tacoma, Washington high school. The movie benefits from appealing performers and some genuinely fresh and funny dialogue!
The opening scene of the films consists of showing the school and areas around the school to show the audience where the setting of the film is going to be. The first image that appears on the screens starts of as a cartoon of the urban setting then turn into a real city this could connote that the setting is real but there could be a side of the story that is childlike or maybe a bit of a dreamland.

A pan camera movement is used to setting the scene so the audience know where about the characters are living, while this is happening some characters are shown but not in detail because they are not the main characters but audience knows that the main characters are surround by people. The first characters that are shown with a mid-shot of a group of girls in a car which shows the audience that these character has an important input into the film because they are the main focus in the frame. In the opposite car their one girl but she is different from the other girls who connotes that there could be a conflict between them because there are on opposite’s side of the road than there are completely different from each other. Another way the audience gets the feeling there is trouble between is the looks the characters in each car are giving each other. The group girls are your topical teenager group with their hair and make-up done however the other character is more of the topical teenager geek who doesn’t care about what she looks like or what people think about her.
