Narrative: PEE
Point- The use of the fragmented narrative in this clip
helps to further the representation of narrative.
Evidence- The narrative intersperses loud party scenes with
quieter conversation scenes outside in the trampoline. We also have a long
establishing scene (opening shot) as the boys arrive at the party, a fast paced
fight scene, and the final action when the main teenage protagonists
leave.
Explanation- This fragmentation helps to convey the chaos of
teenage life. The multiple narratives shoe just how much teenagers have to cope
with in a short space of time. As an institution with a predominantly teenage
audience. E4 is acting as an advocate for teen issues, and trying to get the
viewer to emphasise the sheer amount of pressure society puts on teenagers. It
is also a commercially viable decision, as the empathy secures its fan base by
supporting teens in fighting back against stereotypes.
