How to compose a Storyboard: Ten Things I Hate About You A mid-shot is next presenting a car full of four teenage girls playing their upbeat pop music (One Week) and smiling. This diegetic soundtrack is carried on from the previous non-diegetic sound. The teenage audience will be able to identify with these characters as friendships are presented (uses and gratification theory.) The camera pans to the right to present the contrast in these two people introducing both of the main character in the red car to the audience. The colours red and blue contrast. Blue connoting tranquillity, while red connotes anger, reflecting on the angry main character. The backing shot introduces a plush environment, representing a youthful atmosphere.

The panning ends up on the red car in a mid-shot which creates the two cars to seem equal. By this the audience will infer that they are just normal people, not inferior or superior to each other due to the level shot. This creates a binary opposition as she looks different due to her dark clothing and facial expression.

Another mid-shot as four girls in the other car are seen more closely, instantly looking away from the girl in the red car. Their facial suggest that they are scared of her and she is different to the rest. The song 'Bad Reputation' continues playing to support this idea.

This close up of the main character with a moody and unhappy face presents her personality to the audience immediately. The music she is playing in her car reflects her personality presented through this shot. This then cuts to a high angle long shot of the cars at the cross roads pulling off. Representing stereotypes, connotations of teenagers decisions in life and creates a narrative of competition amongst a teenage audience.

The setting changes to a school (Mise en-scene) where the majority of the film is set, making it easily relatable for the teenage audience (uses and gratification.) An understanding is given that this film is mostly about teenage stereotypes as the cliques of high school are presented. A high shot of the school follows to establish another setting which is one of the main settings due to it being where all the relationships begin and where a lot of the film takes place. This shot presents the school as large and somewhat frightening. The shot also includes some of the many students in it to make it seem more realistic.

Lastly is a close up introducing the first character by name as the first scene begins. The flowers on the desk and the 'Ms' on her plaque give the audience insight to the fact this character is female. We also identify that she is a guidance counsellor through it being stated on her plaque. The audience wonder who is talking to the guidance counsellor and what will happen. Finally, this shot appears as the music of 'bad reputation' fades out which suggests someone important is about to speak.
