The document compares and contrasts elements from the films Snatched and Prom Night. It notes that in both films, the antagonists are partially obscured and wear casual, youthful clothing like hoodies and tracksuits. This establishes them as young while hiding their identities. The document also analyzes how locations in Snatched establish the setting as a run-down, inner city park and use of a ball and phone help characterize the protagonist as a typical teenager. Finally, it discusses how Snatched challenges conventions by showing the antagonist in the background at first to build tension while focusing on the protagonist.

Dark clothing that is scruffy, this
represents a stereotypical
criminal because in majority of
films the antagonist is usual
dressed in scruffy clothing.
Face partially blocked. However in
Snatched this is done through the
use of the hood where as in Prom
Night this is done through the
antagonist’s hair and the dark
lightening which creates a shadow.

The fact that both characters are
wearing tracksuit bottoms
represents youth as teenagers are
often associated with tracksuits.
Both young characters are wearing

6. Snatched VS. The Happening
Both locations include trees
surrounding grass. This allows the
audience to associate to location
with an open public place such as a
park.
Other people in the
background once again
establish the location as a
public place.

0 The location of the opening sequence is on a park. The
park is represented as quite an old scruffy looking
park through the graffiti on the climbing frame and
slides. The swing also looks as if it is going rusty and
worn out. All this along side the clothing of the
characters show that the area isn't the suburbs but it
is more of an inner city area. Due to the fact there is
graffiti around the park, a stereotype is presented that
the characters are in an area where there may be a
higher gang rate, or a higher crime rate in comparison
to other locations.

Ball represent youth. Football
is also associated with teenage
boys. Therefore it was a
suitable prop as it establishes
the character
Once again BMXing is also
associated with teenage boys.
Therefore it is a suitable prop for
the protagonist as is establishes the
character even more.
A stereotypical teenager is
known to always be on the
phone. The phone also
allowed us to establish the
storyline as it gives the
protagonist a reason to
leave the park which leads
to the kidnapping

11. Snatched VS. Prom Night
This is an example where we have challenged conventions.
The antagonist is usually central and in the foreground.
‘However’ we have positioned our antagonist in the
background, we decided to do this as it allowed us to establish
the protagonist more thoroughly as well as establishing the
storyline. We still ensured the antagonist was in shot as this
also created tension for the audience.
