She's All That opening sequence analysis (Rom Com)

The credits in this sequence merge from paint that the main character squirts onto some newspaper. The paint can connect to what happens to the main charcter during the film(she has a makeover). The painting shows that this character is very artistic and by what she is painting shows she is different and sort of an out cast from her 'normal' stereotypical peers. This is very conventional of a romantic comedy, because the out cast is always the main character and is then transformed into a 'popular' person and also falls in love with a person who is completely opposite from them in the 'social school scale' and usually a jock. This is exactly what happens in this film and it can be seen by the opening sequence. The main character's appearence for examle her glasses shows the stereotypical out cast character.
In the opening sequence the location is shown and it's a high school which is again typical of a teenage romantic comedy, because this is where most teenagers spend most of their time. The other typical stereotypical characters are also shown in this opening sequence such as the 'bitch' and the popular jock chacter.
The music in this sequence is very typical for a rom com too. It's very up beat and appeals to most teenagers tastes.
Finally during the whole opening sequence each character/stereotype are introduced subtly like in conversation so the viewrs are aware of the socal stereotypes.
