Teen Drama -The vampire Diaries-

The teen drama that i watched is Vampire Diaries. i watched the first ever episode. i think that there was a great opening with the scary music and that after a minute something really bad happens. The thing that draws the audience attention is that they thought of what type of music would best suit the genre (horror). I don't think that there were any narratives that would be typical of other genres. 

I think that the way the characters were presented was very 
interesting because we saw the characters face but their lips weren't 
moving when they were talking.The main characters were the first people that the audience would see. One of the character is a vampire and the other one is a normal teenage girl. There is a part were there is a stereotypical part. It's  when a girl says sorry to the main character and then gives her a hug. She says sorry because of  her parents past away. I think this is stereotypical part because most people think that if your parents past away your life is not worth living for. the most stereotypical part is after the girl hugs the main character and turns to her friend saying "is she okay?" even though the main character was right there!


i think that the vampire diaries is set in high school. I think this style of drama is about  hiding your secrets.setting appeals to the primary audience because they are familiar with the setting (school). At the beginning there was a scene that took place outside  the forest ,i think that the genre that will best suit the forest is horror because it's scary, dark and foggy.                                 -

We know that this is a teen drama as there are teenagers and there was a school as a setting. Another way to know its a teen drama is the way the actor acts. (like a teenager) One obvious thing that teenagers  like to do is throw a party and then something bad is about to happen. We can hear if its a teen drama by the teenagers always arguing and the language they are using (e.g 'slang') The visual and the sound codes are more likely to appeal to teenagers. 

teenagers that are into horror or vampires would more likely to watch this type of drama.
