Teen angst movie collage

In this collage i have picked stereotypical teenagers from teen angst films. Top right is an image from Juno, where the main character is pregnant, and this is typical for teenagers because teenagers are stereotypically obsessed with sex. Other stereotypical representations of teenagers also occur in this collage, like the 'bitchy' popular girls in the bottom right image, from Mean Girls, and the image of the main character from Perks Of Being A Wallflower partying in the image in the centre. In the same image, the fact that the characters are at a party and dancing will also suggest there is going to be enjoyable music in the film, which again is something that the teenage audience would appeal to. There are also good looking male and female characters and often teen love, as shown in the bottom left image, also from Juno. The image in the middle-left taken from Mean Girls, portrays teen girls as people who care about their appearance which is another stereotypical representation of teenagers. In the same image, the girls are represented as being best friends due to them wearing the same clothing and taking part in typical girl activities together, which is relateable to the target audience as teenagers generally have 'friendship groups'. All the movie titles in the collage e.g Juno, Dear Lemon Lima, Easy A and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower all use bright and colourful text to connote happiness and this is another feature of teen angst films. As you can see in the images above, there is also a frequent use of high key lighting. This is often used in teen angst films as it suggests an upbeat and happy mood, making the film more enjoyable to watch for the audience. Teen angst films are often from a person's perspective and they usually highlight the different social groups. For example, Mean Girls is focused on life from a popular girl's point of view, whereas Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a film from the 'minority' or 'outcasts' point of view, this is so a wider range of audience can enjoy the film. All the images represent the general narrative in each of the films they are taken from, and the majority of the images represent things teenagers commonly see / take part in / problems they may face. For example; the dancing, the stylish clothing, the 'bitchy' girls, pregnancy and romance. Cinematography is apparent in all the images. One example is in the bottom right image from Mean Girls. The photo is taken from a relatively low angle, meaning the camera is looking slightly up at the girls. This represents their importance and dominance, which suggests they are the main characters in the film as well as being the 'popular' girls in school. Similarly in the top right image from Juno's front cover, it is taken from the side which means the audience can see that she is pregnant. This is a common issue either witnessed or experienced by teenagers and it will influence them to see the film. In some of the films they use very popular actors that are commonly found in films that appeal to the target audience.  For example; Emma Stone in Easy A, Michael Cera in Juno and Emma Watson in Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
