Harrys Role Models Deconstruction

This film starts off with the character Danny waiting and then his friend Wheeler turns up to meet him. The character Danny is waiting in a smart suit so the audience will automatically think that he is going somewhere to do a job or to do something important. This changes when Wheeler turns up from a car with more casual clothing on, suggesting they are going to do something less important or he has a more casual outlook to his job.
They then type in a combination to open some sort of garage. The camera only shows a hand typing in this combination. This is effective as the audience do not know who is doing this and makes it more exciting to find out who is doing it. Immediately after this they use an over the shoulder shot. This is effective at this point because it slowly reveals what is going to be behind the garage door and the angle used at this point makes this more effective. At the bottom of the picture in this exact scene it shows the character Wheeler in a costume, which automatically suggests to some people that he is some sort of mascot for a campaign.
When they first do a scene where they are both in the pimped out vehicle, they have drinks strewn across the car, which suggests to the audience that they would be trying to sell these as they wouldn't be drinking all of them as they were actually hundreds of them. Then when the car actually stops, a camera angle shows on the side of the 'pimped out' car, 'Energy Drink'. This confirms to the audience that they are trying to sell these drinks. There is then a quick angle which shows that they are outside the school. This tells the audience that they are probably going to try and sell or advertise these drinks to them.
After this when Danny and Wheeler are trying to advertise their product, there is an angle which shows all of the children they are presenting to and they all look bored and very disinterested. This shows that they are not really bothered about what they are saying as they all look tired or are leaning on their fists. The scene after this shows the two characters walking down the corridor and three kids hanging around. The kids make a snide comment to them both but then Danny and Wheeler reply with another snide comment which puts the kids back in their place. This makes the audience laugh and adds the comic element to the film. In the next scene, they go to another school promoting their drink. Throughout all of the schools that they go to, the students all look disinterested, which shows that both of them are just entering schools promoting a drink which they probably would not buy.
There is then a scene where Wheeler offers Danny a cigarette after it looks like they have taken a break on the side of the road. This shows how bad their jobs are and that although Wheeler is not really that bothered about doing this job, Danny looks quite forlorn.
There is then a scene where they are talking in the truck while Danny is driving discussing about what music he is putting on and how they 'party all night and rock 'n' roll' every day. This entertains and makes the audience laugh at their disagreements about how he parties every day from about 1-3 pm! There is then another scene where they are talking to students and teachers in a school. This indicates to the audience that they do this all day and that their job is very low standard.
There is then a scene where they go into the toilets after drinking too many of the 'Minotaur' drinks that they are advertising at the schools. When they urinate it shows that it is green, which tells the audience that the drink has side-effects to it and is probably not very safe to drink, which also adds that comic element and makes the audience laugh.
It then shows them going back to where they were at the very start and they move into an office where the audience assumes there are other 'Minotaur' workers. The audience can tell from their conversation that Wheeler enjoys his job and that Danny definitely doesn't as they are trying to think of reasons why and why not they are doing good for the world.
Then when they turn a corner, it is revealed that there has been a surprise party set up for Danny. The surprise look on Danny's face shows how surprised he is and this is the reaction that the audience will get as there were no clues to this actually happening.
It then shows Wheeler celebrating the occasion but Danny doesn't look very excited at reaching the ten year milestone and it becomes obvious to the audience that he doesn't like his job. He then goes in the corner and starts to sulk which shows further that he doesn't want to be part of the party and wants to go further in his career.

The music throughout up to where they enter the office is quite upbeat and pacy music, which shows that there is an upbeat relationship between the characters and that allows the comic elements in the film. Also the titles roll throughout the opening. This allows the audience to see the introduction so that they start to understand what the film is all about and allows all of the people who got involved in the film to be published on the screen and be recognised for their work.
