The final student made film that I've used for my inspiration is called The exam. You can tell just from the title that this is most likely a teen film because exams are always key parts of teenager's lives. Like lot's of teen films, it starts in the boy's room, where he has overslept. We tell this through several quick shots showing his alarm clock. We then see him hastily get ready for the day cutting quickly between different locations showing the protagonist getting ready. When he arrives at the exam hall and sits down, the inner monologues start: we hear everything that the main protagonist is thinking about and feeling. This almost puts us in his shoes, especially when he starts to day dream as we are transported to his "dream imagination". This works well because we get a real sense of what he is going through and everything that he is thinking about. While the storyline is simple, like other teen films, it works really well.
