Breakfast Club (1985) - Film Opening 3

This film opening successfully establishes the location with an establishing shot but also with dialogue over the top of this. The music within this opening is quite upbeat yet laid back.
In terms of mise en scene this opening scene portrays some aspects excellently. For example the school setting showing stereotypical aspects such as, graffiti, cafeteria, lockers, school newsletter, notice boards, trophy cabinets, litter, classrooms, changing rooms
 etc. Also the consideration of the phrases written for example 'I don't like mondays' which illustrates the students in a negative way, also 'help' taboo words like 'fag'.
With the upwards tilt shot of the BMW we are able to detemine that the people in the vehicle are quite wealthy, we again are able to confirm this with the appearance of them. For example the father is wearing a checkered scarf, and a smart suit, with a cashmere type sweater. His hair is also combed over to one side suggesting he likess to take care of his appearance. Through the dialogue we also get the impression that the daughter has been somewhat spoilt by her father, he says 'I'll make it up to you' suggesting that he is doing something wrong by making her attend her saturday detention when all she did 'ditch class to go shopping'. The expression on the girls face makes us think that she is a spoilt child and maybe quite stuck up.
Whereas the mother in the next shot seems to conform the stereotype of a mother whose child has done wrong by saying 'is this the first time or the last time you do this?' she also says to 'use the time to your advantage' which again illustrates the way in which she would like to raise her child with good morals. Also the setting is very different from the father and daughter in that the car seems to be more cramped with the addition of a younger sibling.
In regards to codes and conventions the film opening doesn't have any opening titles, however it does establish the location and gives us some of the storyline but still doesn't give too much away. We are lead to think of what the students have done wrong and why they are in detention. We assume that this will be revealed throughout the course of the film.
