| Stereotype of Teenagers |
In teen movies the characters are usually represented by stereotypes. Certain features of their personality and appearance are highlighted. The representation can be a distorted representation of a person/group of people, and often in teen movies it is exaggerated. The producers of the film will do their research to ensure they are getting the stereotype right, so the audience will know what they are trying to represent.
The clothes that the characters wear display their personality even further. The cheerleaders are always wearing bright colours, with little clothing. Also the cheerleaders are very loud and usually very popular.
In Films
Cheerleaders - can be found in films such as High School Musical and Bring It On
Male Jocks - are typically found in American teen films such as Mean Girls. The Jocks are quite popular in the school and wear Jerseys that match their football team
The Pretty Ugly Girl - who is very dull and not that fashionable but has a makeover making her stand out. The pretty ugly girl can be found in films such as The Princess Diaries, Cinderella Story and St.Trinians
