sound evaluation of 3 teen dramas

Gossip girl 

the first opening sequence i analysed was gossip girl. the first thing that you realize is the dialogue it is whispers and the voice of a women. this is to show that gossiping is done by women and the whispering symbolizes secrets. the music that is used is the sound track is commonly used through out the show it is catchy and up beat to show it is a teen drama. It fits the drama as it is about scandel and gossiping.


glee

the season which i analysed was season 5 and episode one. In this season there is a lot of speech rather than music to start with as the show lost one of their main characters Cory Monteith who died. then each character sings. the whole show is more of a musical as they are a glee group so they always sing. and they sing remakes of songs.


My Mad Fat Diary

this is a teen drama about a young girl who has just left a mental health hospital and talks about how she makes new friends and finds love. 
in the opening there is no music just speech. and the character introduces her self. then there is rock music played to show that she is a fun and outgoing character also rock music portrays wild attitudes and outgoing behavior which is what the show is about. rock music is also mainly sung by independent artists and has got a lot of meaning behind it which is meaningful as this drama is about how having mental issues can effect a person
