Film Trailer - The Inbetweeners 2
- Comedy
- Characters represented as students who don't really fit into any social groups
- A negative representation of age as their main focus is sex, sun and booze
- Language used by the characters is simplified - representation of how young people talk (negative)
- The characters' behaviour can influence how their audience feel toward the subject of the film
- The film's target audience can also relate to this - the majority of the film's audience is within this age range so they will be able to relate to the things they are doing
- The characters have individual personalities which can represent age differently: a liar, the dumb one, the smart one and the loser. These individual personalities can be relatable to different people
- The idea that teenagers, or 'inbetweeners', just want to party abroad is massively portrayed throughout the whole film as it is the underlying theme.
- Majority of the jokes in the trailer are surrounding the topic of sex - represents young people negatively as this could mean this is all they talk about
TV Programme - Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents
- Negative representation of teenagers on their first holiday with their mates and without their parents
- Parents are chosen specifically so a good programme is made - for example in season 2, episode 1, jehovah's witnesses are chosen as parents as it makes a more interesting reaction when they find out what their children have been doing.
