9 FRAME ANALYSIS

The first of my nine frame is at the beginning of the video of Teenage Dirtbag where Jason Biggs falls asleep on the stairs and dreams. A ripple affect is used to cut to the dream sequence. The actor is wearing simple teenage, typical American clothing a checkered shirts and black jeans. Andrew Goodwin's theory partially fits into this frame as the same mellow beat is repeated throughout the video at different intervals. This particular shot has no music how the one straight after does. The audience can relate to this image as everyone at one time in their life has fallen asleep studying. This frame moves to him riding a bike to his school, he subverts the gender typical stereotype as he isn’t dominant nor o his peers respect him and in fact seem to be uncomfortable in his own skin.

The second shot I have chosen to analyze is a shot of the band, it is a close up of the lead singer. This shot takes place in the school gym with the score board showing the score.

In this shot we, the audience get to see the female love interest for the first time.

In this shot we get to see the girls boyfriend and his social click, the typical jock. They are the typical American boy’s blond hair and a strut that shows his own perceived dominance.
