Travelling and arriving

The Breakfast Club



Our task is to reshoot the opening of "The Breakfast Club" exploring the different stereotypes of students in an american high school by the ways in which they go to school, describing the characters locations and mode of transport. 


"The Princess" - She is the first character to appear driven in by her dad, connoting that she is a daddy's girl, in a BMW. This implies that she is rich and spoilt.


"The Brain" - We then see the 'geek' in an old car with his mother and a younger sibling. The numberplate shown says 'emc' which could signify his intelligence. This supports maths as in school you learn about e=mc squared.


"The Jock" - He's an athlete driven in to school in his dad's truck to portray their masculinity. the father seems stern and the conversation is concentrated on sport and his future career as an athlete. 


"The Criminal" - Seen walking and comes alone. His clothes and body language portray his lack of care and disregard to his surroundings and his education. He is almost run over as he doesn't concentrate on the road, indicating his rebel like exterior.


"The Basket case" - The last character is dropped off quite suddenly and as soon as she gets out from the backseat, which connotes her outcast status, the car drives off. There is no interaction with anyone in the car like the other characters. This indicates her loneliness.
