What Elements of the genre did the movie have that you like... 
I liked the elements that pertained to the experiences of coming out and being who you truly are to not only to yourself but to others that know you as well

What elements of the genre did the movie have that do not appeal to you... 

• I didn't like the lack of settings, for this movie it worked due to the school setting but for the movie i want to film it doesn't work, the many settings would give the story depth and new light.

The Mise-Un-Scene of the story is the color blue.
For the movie it represents the other side of the person the one who is out and the person he is chasing. He is constantly looking for this person named blue to figure out himself and to find out who it is he really loves.
