Film studies coursework-task 1 The breakfast club opening

 Opening scene 2: The breakfast club

Once the opening titles have finished, the film starts with an establishing shot of a school which is obviously a key location in the film. After this we see several different shot's of locations in the school, which are clearly important otherwise they wouldn't have shown them. These shot's are full of props that you would expect to see in a school which continue to relate strongly to the teen genre. We can also tell that these shots and props are important because they must relate to something that either happens later on in the film or is explained later on in the film. Once these shots have played, we are then introduced to the 5 main protagonists of the film. It is very clear that the genre is teen because the location is a school, which is often a location in teen films mainly because school is always a big part of a teenager's life.
