Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a teen drama with a sub genre of comedy. The films about a young musician, Scott Pilgrim, who's met the girl of his dreams, however he realises there's going to be a few obstacles for him to overcome before he can have her.

Straight from the beginning the audience are situated with the young genre entertainment, with the Universal sequence theme tune being altered by a keyboard to an alien type, electronic theme tune.

The text which establishes the opening to the scene along with the dialogue over the top, is a technique which is used regularly when relating to a teen genre as it creates a sensation of personal thoughts, which teenagers can relate to.

The kitchen scene allows the audience to establish the characters within the film and the different character personalities, this is reinforced by the simplistic pop up of text with details of the characters. This is used within this genre to set out a clear characterization of them from the beginning, as this plays a big role in the plot to teen genres to get a real understanding of their behaviour.

Text is also used to present some basic words when the digetic sound is heard. This adds to sub genre of the comedy, however relates to the teen genre, with the basic text appealing to the teens as a comic strip type layout.

The music used is also targeted towards a teen genre, with a rock and roll type style which connotes a rebellious, daring character, which a lot of teenagers idolise to be.
