Superbad is a popular teen comedy. The archetypal characters of a teen film, in this case, 'nerds' are shown through the use of movement in this opening sequence. Two boys are shown dancing to some upbeat funk music, this establishes a light-hearted and fun mood for the film, particularly seeing as their dancing is not very good. The awkwardness of their dancing appeals to a teenage audience because they can relate to the boys attempt at being 'cool'.
In addition to this the colour scheme is mainly with bold, simple primary and secondary colours (blue, orange, green etc.) which further supports it's teenage genre because it is attractive to the younger eye. The font is rounded and is also included in the simple colour scheme.
This is a really interesting clip and all your points are good. I love this idea and agree that teen is a good genre to do. We could do something really quirky and different within this genre.
