I have watched Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus and made a comic using ComicLife in class. It is about a high school boy, he plays the guitar and is a musician. He likes this girl who is called Noelle. Noelle is way out of his league because she flirts around with all the big high school football jocks, who think they rule the school.
The boy writes songs to express his feelings about the love he has about Noelle, through the music video we get clips of him doing music with all different angles to show us how he plays music and shows different reasons, for example close up to show the reaction and expression.
Throughout the music video we get a sense to show how he feels about Noelle, after time Noelle drops the football jerks and become a 'teenage dirtbag' just like he is. He doesn't do to much to himself, he wears messy and ugly clothes and doesn't dress himself how people would find him attractive
At the end they dance at prom together, but the disco balls drops and it was all a dream...
From the start of the video to the the positioning is the same, he is lying on the brown stairs asleep.
Please add your Comic Life work to this post as an image.
ReplyDeleteYou understand the main thrust of the narrative - the teenager's desperate desire to conform, be accepted, belong. You write well on representation and film language.
