Images of the Drama genre

Including films with the 'Coming-of-Age' theme

 
In the poster for this film, there are 4 young characters, all male. The title suggests that they stcik by each other no matter what happens between them; something which only one of the characters in my film does.
Nature-They are in a quiet area where no body else is. This suggests that they have their freedom to do this and that they soend their time together in a place where no one else goes to. 
This image clearly shows their bonding. They all have bagpacks which shows thatthey are all going on this journey together as a team.
They are walking on a train track which is dangerous-no body should be there, that's why they are there all alone. This leads the audience to want to know why they have ended up there.
 
Stand By Me (1986) Director: Rob Reiner


The word 'club' within the title suggests that they are together, as a team. The characters are all wearing clothing and fashions of that time, something which teenagers tend to do in these type of films.
The use of the colour green could symbolise jealousy or envy, which could make the audience think that somewhere along the line there will be a twist within the story line.
 
 
The character in the red could be seen as the reballious character. This is due to the fact that he is wearing a red top-connoting danger; or perhaps it could suggest love and a possible roomance between him and another character. He seems to dominate because of the colour of his shirt, and it seems to draw your attention over to him.
Another way that their rebelliousness is shown is through the wau that they are sat on the tables, instead of being seated on the chairs provided for them. They have chosen to disobey the rules, and this tells the audience that they are going to be doing more thngs that they shouldn't.
 
The Breakfast Club (1985) Director: John Hughes
 
'Leisure Rules'-This is effective as it is saying that his parents do not rule him-leisure does. He is obviously a character that will not listen to what other people tell him to do.
The close up of his face is effective because it allows the audience to see a close-up of his smile, which tells the audience that he is up to no good; he is disobeying the rules and he is enjoying it.
 
The red font used on this poster stands out as it is bright and eye catching, but also because it is in red. The use of the color red shows how rebellious he is, and also connotes danger-a hint towards Ferris's danger of being caught skipping school and pretending to be ill.
The clothing is of that time and makes the film much more realistic.
Ferris seems really relaxed, another way of showing that he is different to other teenagers-he likes to take his time to do stuff, where as others tend to rush around and have lots of things going on at the same time.
 
This is an image of where Ferris talks to the audience. He is facing the camera, so that it seems as though he is directing his speech directly to you as a spectator.
The writing is effective, due to the fact that it gives the audience the chance to see what is going on in his mind, and it is also the sort of thing a rebellious teenager would actually do.
The furniture placed in his room is typical of  the furniture a teenager has, and the guitar shos that he has a talent. This tells the audience more about the character, giving him more of a background.
 
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) Director: John Hughes

In this poster, you can tell that the characters are both young. They seems quite free and it looks as though they have an easy life, something which draws the audience in to wanting to see the film.
The characters are obviously rebellious, due to the fact that they are girls and they are wearing football shirts. It is clear from the picture that they both enjoy football, and the title confirms that they are interested in it and play it.
The sky is very effective in the poster because it is almost as though they are touching the sky in order to reach their goals-That's how hard they are working on achieveing their goals.
 
The field used not only shows a wide space for their football games, it connotes their freedom to do what they like.
 Bend It Like Beckham (2002) Director: Gurinder Chadha
