28. Media Texts That Influenced Us

From looking at different high school drama opening title sequences, we personally liked 10 things I hate about you as we have seen it before. In the title sequence, we saw how the text here was made specially for the movie and we haven't seen it anywhere else. We liked this because it was creative and personal. The colour green, seen here seems to create a contrast against the blue sky. This shows how the editors seemed to consider all elements when creating the media text. The text also looks sketchy, which makes it look handwritten in a way, again making it look even more personal. 


Another high school drama text we looked at was Mean Girls. Again, this was another personal favourite of ours, The font seemed to reflect the movie and what it is about. In particular, the word 'mean' is put in bold to put emphasis on what the movie is about. The colour pink, also reflects the movie as it is mostly female dominated (hence the name). Everything that was used in this media text reflects back to the film. For the text to connect to the audience, it needs to have relation with what the film is about.
