In our teen film, we only have one character, therefore there's only one stereotype - the 'skater'. This slidely shows how we achieved portraying the skater stereotype.
The skater stereotype by Slidely Slideshow
The skater stereotype has both a positive and negative stereotype:
- Positive:
- our character is seeing rushing to get to school on time (which she unfortunately doesn't)
- Negative (to parents, teachers and other adults):
- purposely sleeps through alarm
- puts on dirty clothes for school
The four key areas (camerawork, editing, sound and mise-en-scene) also helps us to achieve this stereotype:
- Camerawork
- the camera is at an eye-level which tells us she is not shown as being dominant (normally shown at a low angle) or being belittled (normally shown at a high angle)
- the camera also pans across the character's room, showing the things that she is interested in
- there is a close up of the skateboard she rides to school, and a skateboard is the key to portraying the stereotype
- Editing
- most of the film is shown in fast-motion, which shows the frantic state her laziness has left her in
- the match cut shows the audience how she travels to school
- Sound
- the pop-punk rock soundtrack is what first gives away her skater stereotype
- Mise-en-scene
- the skateboard prop (see camerawork)
- the clothes also tells the audience that she is a skater
