Compare & contrast ”Pretty in Pink” & ”Clueless”

The deuce videos we watched were uninformed and Pretty in solicit. The main roles in both darts were girls but from very dissimilar backgrounds. Cher was the main character in clueless, she was from a wealthy background, Andie on the other hand was from a poor family and was the main character in Pretty in Pink. The two films were made close to a decade apart Clueless in 1995 and Pretty in Pink in 1986. In both films there were many differences.They are filmed in America obviously speaking in American accents e.g. tomatoes, vitamins, their currency in Dollars, where as we use pounds. The cars drive on the opposite side of the driveway as we do. There were many differences from Britain i.e. the fire hydrants along the streets, the students dont have to wear uniforms for school. The students also attend knock over class which is not a lesson n our timetable.The fashions and cultural differences are comparable in the midst of the two films. Andie, the character from the poor ba ckground has earrings in one ear and no earrings in the other ear. Boys and girls wore their hair long, the girls had perm hair. Their clothes were dull, drab and skirts were long. Andie made her own clothes where as Cher had expensive outfits which were colourful & bright, their hair was raze dyed bright colours.Cher in Clueless has a wealthy father who is a lawyer and earns $ vitamin D per hour they live in a huge expensive domiciliate with a maid. Andies father in Pretty in Pink works part time, they have very little money and their stomach is small & shabby.The camera shots in the two films are very different. The camera shots at the beginning of Clueless shows Cher, the main character, on her way to school, it shows an overhead shot of her in her car. Cher picks up her friend Dion the camera introduces the invigorated character with an overhead shot. When they arrive at schools the camera shot is of them walking towards the school chatting. Murray, Dions boyfriend, arrives and the shot is a close up with euphony playing, the practice of medicine suggests that Murray is popular. Murray & Dion start to argue with for each one other so it goes to a tracking shot of Cher walking up the path towards the school. During the debate class, when Cher is speaking, a tracking shot films win the class, it takes no one taking any notice of her or the lesson.The introduction of Pretty in Pink shows tracking shot moving up Andies leg, as it moves up it suggests Andies style and personality. It shows Andie making her toast, compared to Cher in Clueless who has a maid to make her breakfast. During the classroom shot it shows the two girls who bully Andie the shot suggests that they dislike Andie because she is poorer than they are. Duckie is Andies friend, it shows a tracking shot of him walking up the corridor, and this shows he is a popular person.Clueless has lots of sounds and music which introduce us to different characters and scenes. At the beginning Cher is doing a voice over as the film starts and a song called Kids in America is playing, which tells us what the film is going to be about. Before Cher picks up Dion, there is a voice over with music playing in the background. As she arrives at Dions house the music stops when the dialogue between them both starts. When Murray arrives in the scene there is dialogue between them both, the music is played to show Murrays popularity in the school. When Cher leaves them she is doing a voiceover about boys. When she is speaking in the debate class, pacify patriotic music starts to play.Pretty in pink starts with silence as the title is on the screen, this was the starting film which did this. The music starts when we see Andie. As the dialogue begins the music starts to fade. The scene which shows Andie at school the music is playing loud. The music changes when Duckie arrives and as the students enter the classroom, the music fades and the dialogue starts.I enjoyed both films but I prefer red Clueless. The colours in this film were much brighter than the colours in Pretty in Pink. I thought that Pretty in Pink wasnt as good because the film was a bit dull and this made the film look less exciting. The reason why the shots in each film look different is because the camera technology is very different because the films were made just down the stairs a decade apart. With the camera shots being different it makes the film look a lot fail and the camera angles looking a lot more advanced.
