High school movie Analysis

High school movie analysis of my choice is: High School Musical 2!


Camera: Close-up shots - expressions and emotions of the high school students, very frequent throughout the movie as they are very dramatic and express a lot of emotions, Long shots - show the scenery and environment, also show the clothes they're wearing to give some background on what the movie is likely to be about, mid-shots - show the body language of the teens, Shot/reverse shot - the conversing between the high schoolers. 

Editing: Jump-cuts - show the events happening in different locations and the thoughts, emotions, feelings the teens are having, Ellipsis, flashing lights - showing how fancy and cool the teens are in a more "upper class" high school.

Sound: Even more musical style with soundtracks from different genres (Jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, pop) live musical instruments to add to the musical theme.

M.E.S: cell-phones, sports outfits (cheer leading pom poms, soccer gear), cafeteria, lunch tables, bedrooms, city life, busy people, more casual dress sense, high school musical 2 has a much more mature concept with a lot more couples.
