Sound

The dialogue between the father and the son shows a reversal in audeince expectations. We see the father shouting and swearing at the teenager, which is normally something we would expect to hear from the teenager. The father's aggressive reaction to the diegetic rock music plays to the stereotype that teenagers play loud music and are inconsiderate to older people. His reaction also plays to the stereotype that teenagers frustrate their parents.


At the beggining of the clip we hear ambiant sound of birds singing, and diegetic sound of churchbells ringing. These sounds are used to create an atmospherical feel and they also suggest that it is early as these sounds are often associated with morning.

Camera Angles+Movement

The idea that teenagers are curious about sex is reinforced through the over the sholder shot used when he is looking at the older woman getting dressed through the window over the road. The shot is hand held so that the audience can have the same experience as the teenage main character. The following close up shot shows a lack of expression suggesting that this is routine and he has become disaffected by the image. This conforms to the stereotype that teenagers' lives are surrounded by sex and it plays a big part of their life.

The high angle shot used to show the girl looking upto her brother and then followed by the brother looking down at his sister, this shows that she is in a vunerable position from which we can tell from her worried face. It shows her relying on her brother and this conforms the stereotype that younger siblings rely on older brothers/sisters. also from this we see the brother is in power.

Mise En Scene

The mise en scene of the protagonists bedroom challenges and conforms to stereotypical views about youth culture. The establishing shot suggests that the series targets a teenage audience and it will follow the life and experiences of a teenager. The duvet cover shown is of a double bed with a naked man and woman, suggesting that this age group is sexually charged. The protagonist is positioned in the middle of the two bodies suggesting that he is sexually inexperienced. It could also be suggesting that he is alone and confused about his sexuality, which conforms to teenage sterotypes.In this shot natural lighting is used to give a sense of realism so the teenage audience identifies with the life of the protagonist.

The Mise En Scene of the protagonists bedroom suggests that he likes to keep things tidy, this challenges the stereotype of teens being messy.
