This is the first shot of the movie. It is a shot of the whole house and sets the scene well as this is where most of the film takes place.

There is plenty of light which is used to show it’s the morning and that it’s a happy mood.

The sound at this point is the mother talking inside the house.

This shot of the house implies that the family is quite rich which plays a part in the film.

In the second shot, the camera focuses very close to Ferris’ face. This is to emphasis the strong look on his face and to show he is ill. It’s important for the audience to know that he is ill so that we understand what happens in the film.

There is a light on his face so the audience can see it and all of our attention is on his face.

The fact that the parents don’t realise that Ferris is clearly faking it shows that they are quite gullible and dumb.

The camera is placed like this so it looks like it’s from the point of view of Ferris, as he looks up at his parents.

The parents are wearing smart clothing which suggests they are rich and successful. This only adds to the plot because it means they would want him to do well at school, not faking an illness.

There is a lot of light on their faces so that the audience focuses on their facial expressions and not the background etc. There is a very concerned look on her face.

This shot shows the whole of his room. This gives the audience an insight into what he is like and therefore what the film might be like.

There are posters on the wall which the young audience would be able to relate to. This would be a typical young persons room of the time and implies that it’s a coming of age film.

Typography: the font of this dialogue really expresses the style of the film as it is a very relaxed and funky style. The colour suggests the audience is young.
