The opening ten minutes of Spiderman the Movie possesses many of the conventions to create a successful teen movie. First of all, we meet the conventional main character who within his school is classed as an outsider, in this case its Peter Parker, who eventually turns out to be Spiderman. We are then introduced to Mary Jane, Peter Parker's love of his life, this crush is a typical convention of a teen movie. There is also drama when the missing "super spider" bites Peter on the hand, the audience are in suspense wondering what will happen to him.
The location of the opening to the film helps signal that the film is aiming for a teenage audience. it is located in a high school museum where all the teenagers are taking part in their college courses. This allows the teenage viewers to interact and understand the bullying aspect of the film as Peter constantly gets pushed and shoved by these four bullies in the museum.
The extract portrays adults as caring and wanting their children to achieve. This is evident as all the children appear to be taking part in high level courses as the spider museum they go to looks high tech.
A tense atmosphere is created when Peter gets bitten by the spider, the audience are left wondering what will happen next to him .
