institutional context.

The production company of jennifers body is fox, the budget was approximatly$16,000,000. also produced by fox, 28 days later with a budget of $8,000,000. The production causes a massive effect on how the film sells and how the film is marketed. For example 'megan fox' as a well know actor her price for the film would have been a large chunk of the budget. this pays off in the marketing as they use her soley on the front cover to advertise the film as she is a very significant sexual icon especially to the target audience (teenagers) as she has been featured in other fims targeting a similair audience E.G Transformers.

Target audience.

The target audience for teen horrors is generaly manstream males and females aged 14-19 that enjoy watching horror. To appeal to this audience teen horror films use age certification, specific techniques, props, language, and emotion to highlight teenage demographics in order to relate to the audience; staying amused, gaining custom through social reference and some teen horrors will use the film to advertise the sequel. In the teen horror 'jennifers body' the opening scene revlves around a young actor (playing a teen) laying on her bed with slightly less than revealing clothes: typically men, teenage boys are very interested in sex. This is a demographic/stereotype that is used capture the target audience. Adolescence is largely characterized buy ending during teenage years; growing up, conflict with authority. These all are a huge part of teenage life, being able to relate to a film is massive reason to watch it; teen horrors often use these aspects of teenage years in the plot e.g 'Saras mum wont let her out past midnight;after unusual situatons and happenings she gradually turns into a werewolf out of frustraton'; teenagers who have been given a curfew will be able to relate to this and wil lbe strong reason to watch, buy or refer to friends. Social interaction is also a major variable in the advertisment of teen horror; going to the cinema with friends, talking about the films with friends and familly, laughing and annoying other people in the cinema; despite genre is a typical interst in some teenagers. giving more reason for the tageted audience to purchase a ticket.




SOCIAL INTERATCION

Analysis of opening sequence-jennifers body

The establishing shot is a long shot of someone’s house at night. The camera slowly moves towards the house slightly canted switching from left to right. This creates suspense, anchored with disonant eerie non-diagetic music played matching the genre (horror). Later on the in the sequence we see a girl in confinement(prison, mental asylum: not specified) There is a close up of her bunny slippers, she then kicks the carer with great force sending her across the room knocking out some of her teeth. We see a close up of the teeth covered in blood: this connection between the two props that have been shot close up are in complete contrast and shocks the audience giving a twisted impression of the character. The close up of her teeth along with the distance the carer has travelled also connotes her strength; this is also shocking considering gender.
Lastly we see her being thrown into isolation. the camera is positioned in a bird’s eye view and the lighting is brightly focused on her with contrasted darkness everywhere else; the combination anchors the denotation making her seem insignificant and in superior. These are all codes and convention that emphasise the genre.
