ferris bueller's day off

This is the first shot of the film today. It shows the setting of the start of the film and the family home. The house is rather large which suggests that the family is rich and posh, which represents a rich and posh social group. The props such as the cars and the over the top front garden also adds to this representation. At this point we expect Ferris so be a rich and snobby teenager despite not even seeing him yet.

TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Ferris Bueller's Day off

This is the first shot of the film today. It shows the setting of the start of the film and the family home. The house is rather large which suggests that the family is rich and posh, which represents a rich and posh social group. The props such as the cars and the over the top front garden also adds to this representation. At this point we expect Ferris so be a rich and snobby teenager despite not even seeing him yet.

This is the first shot we see of Ferris. A close up of his face shows that his facial expressions are of a weak and vulnerable child. This is in contrast to what we thought from the previous shot. This image of Ferris represents a quite feeble social group and suggests that Ferris might not have many friends at school.

The lighting on his face shows his facial expressions and adds to the representation of the social group.

Here we see the whole bedroom including Ferris’ parents for the first time. The parents are wearing quite rich and upper class clothes. They also looked quite groomed which adds to the rich and upper class social group that they represent.

The props in the shot which include the posters and images. This clearly shows the teenage social group that Ferris represents. This is also shown as Ferris manipulates his parents to get off school, something the social group of teenagers might try and do.

Here we see Ferris’ sister and her facial expressions. She is clearly not happy with Ferris having the day off school and this is shown by her facial expressions. The sister also represents the teenage social group and her rivalry with Ferris is an example of binary opposites. This also shows sign of the narrative as she could play a role in his day off from school.

There is a clever use of camera angle to show her facial expressions and her representation of the social group of teenagers.
