In the title sequence we took inspiration from films we have watched and the experiences we ourselves have faced as teenagers. This is good for a teen drama especially a youth drama as we can portray first hand the emotions and thoughts youth have in particular situations. As Bend It Like Beckham touched on similar topics to the topics we spoke about in our film opening, we looked at that as inspiration to see how they made their opening. Also, in many films teenagers are seen as badly behaved and disorderly. Despite some teens being like this, the majority are not like this so we wanted to show the other aspects of many teens, religious, kindhearted and god fearing. Of course, many teens can fall victim to peer pressure and we also wanted to show this.
We showed the contrast of worlds, by having the two different locations and the loss of the hijab when the main character is with her friends. The mosque in the first image is the main place for muslim worship, the image below is Owens Park, a place used for smoking which is frowned upon in islam. In addition to this, in the lower picture the main character is surrounded by boys in hooded tops, this is a stereotype used a lot in media for antisocial behaviour, this is one social group we represented in our title sequence.
Similarly, in Bend It Like Beckham, we see contrast with the main character wearing traditional religious garments when in the religious setting with her family, but with her friends she is not, instead she wears more Western clothing, this is just one of the aspects we took from this film.
