Sabrina The Teenage Witch Analysis
The extract opens with a mid shot of protagonist - establishes the lead character
long shot of her in city environment-establishes sense of normality-wearing typical teenage clothes-bright colors.
The name of the show appears at the beginning- subverts typical convention were name appears at the end.
mid/long shots of sabrina in city environment-dancing/flashing lights-changing outfits, connotes party/fast paced lifestyle-something associated with teenagers. the long shot showing multiple sabrinas reinforces her magic ability in that she can be various places at once-can multi task etc.
Her constant changing outfits and environment reinforces her 'witch status; however the city/school campus setting contrasts with this to show that she also lives a normal teenage life.
She is also featured heavily throughout the titles sequence with very little on screen time for other characters, if any showing her to be the main protagonist-this tends to happen whereby the story-line features a set cast-with a lead male/female.
The soundtrack is also very upbeat/pop with sound-effects connoting magic/spells-twinkling sounds etc which reinforces her magical powers.
