2) Tony is a counter stereotype - Complete opposite to what we see as a stereotypical teen.
3) Teenage drama genre. Tony's representation as a teen fits into this. He is the main character.
4) Seems like it will unfold in the way most other teenage dramas tend to unfold. They make big plans, get drunk, get high, and the plans end up falling apart.
5) Opening shot used to reveal main character, also gives an idea of his character as he's up early and doesn't seem tired. Following shot shows him exercising. Typical thing for a teen to do in the morning?
6) Mise-en-scene - Extremely tidy room, bed sheets done up well, all clothes folded. Seems like a well sized house - shows his family are not poor or extremely wealthy - just an average family.
7) Sid's representation - Completely opposite to what we see of tony. He is lazy and doesn't wake up in the mornings, messed up room with clothes on the floor and used plates everywhere. Also he is a virgin whilst Tony seems not to be.
8) He's represented as a typical teenage stereotype. described as a 'waste of space' by his dad.
9) Michelle - first shot of he is her legs, camera follows them up to her towel as she is on the phone to Tony discussing helping Sid lose his virginity. Helps create a profile for her character - maybe the group hoe? All the boys want to get with her?
10) The shot of her legs relates to Laura Mulvey's theory of the 'Male Gaze' - Camera portrays her only in a sexual manner.
11) Chris and Jal's representations.
Chris - Seen in bed with a girl. Just been woken up by Tony's phone call. Says he is 'Busy' suggesting some sexual activity's with the girl known only as 'buck-teeth' Links to stereotype of teenagers being all about sex.
Jal - Another stereotype used, but that of a muslim. Seen doing prayers in the religious dress code. Not happy about being disturbed. This changes once he's on the phone to Tony, as they start discussing have a 'Gay night out' and having sex with the females they meet that are desperate for it.
Maxi's Representation - Comes across as being very feminine. It's his 'gay night out' being discussed by the other characters. Seen tap dancing on his own practicing for the show. Could be the one to make up the group - There's always a gay in the group
Cassie's Representation - Young black female up early in her pyjamas playing the clarinet. Could be seen as a counter-type. Never see black youths, male or female, portrayed in such a way - usually seen as defiant mischievous and troublemakers.
Tony's Parents - Dad seems very stressed over his current life style. Tony uses this at his advantage - plays with his head and winds him up as much as he can. Dad swears alot to let out his anger.
