Even Stevens, Created by Matt Dearborn 2000
Camera: mainly mid-shots and long shots are used in order to present a full view of the protagonists life, and like Sabrina the Teenage Witch help the young audience connect and relate to the characters lives. However, some close-ups are used to connect on a personal level with character, this can also be seen with Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Editing:Is fast-paced, matching the on-screen action, both male and female characters are given more or less the same amount of on -screen time suggesting that there is no subservient gender. Also, by being shown together on screen the idea of 'family' is re-enforced.
Sound:Upbeat, again matches on screen action. This seems so far to be typical of the children's TV drama sub-genre.
Mise-en-scene:Represents 'family life' in a fairly stereotypical manner, for example fighting over the television, the dad washing the car and the mum working in the office etc. This fits in with widely accepted views of family life so that the audience can relate it to their own lives.
Saved By The Bell, Created by Sam Bobrick 1989
Mise-en-scene the graphics have a 'cartoon-like' quality, once again showing aspects of a young teenagers life for example ice cream, trainers. This is very much similar to other openings i have analysed, in addition characters are shown within the introduction- pictures. The 'Graphic' side could relate to the time period- 80's and is unique to other openings which i have seen. However other aspects, such as the aspects of life and the directors need to connect with the target audience.
Sound:Upbeat- typical of the particular genre.
Editing: Matches on-screen action, fairly fast.
