Easy A was brought out in 2010, it is an American teen comedy film written by Bert Royal and directed by Will Gluck. The film is inspired by the classic novel 'The Scarlet Letter'. The film was shot at Screen Gems studios in California. The film has a range of actors and actress's ranging from Emma Stone, Juliette Goglia, Amanda Bynes to Cam Gignadet.The film is inspired on the novel 'The Scarlet Letter', but is based on the character Olive played by Emma Stone, who first starts off with a white lie about losing her virginity, and then ends up seeing her life paralleling Hester Prynne's in 'The Scarlet Letter', which she is currently studying in school, until she decides to use the rumor mill to up life both her social and financial life.
Through out the opening of the film a range of shots are used in various positions, such as the establishing shot which is brought down from the sky to show that the films opening scene is set in a school. During the opening fast up beat music is used to go with the theme and also fast pace of editing is used throughout, as this keeps the film moving at a good pace.
The opening of the film is very western and does not focus on different ethnicities. This film mainly focused on the image Emma Stone sets herself by the way in which she acts and dresses. The way in which she shows herself through the way she dresses related to my film opening as it shows how people view differently on the way one dresses. Such as in my film opening the girl is given a very innocent, stereotypical image as she is first dressed in traditional Asian clothes known as a 'salwakamiz' but later as she changes clothes her whole image and the audiences outlook on her dramatically changes.
