Identification of Stereotypes in Teen Films
1.The Jock
In 'Not Another Teen Movie' the jock is the most common stereotypes in a teen film and was the main stereotype in this film. All the jocks were wearing a distinctive jock jacket which made the audience aware that they were jocks. Most were typically good looking and fairly tall. Also there was one main jock that ran the school and had most of the girls drooling for him.
2.The Black guy
In most of the teen movies I have seen there is a stereotypical black guy. In most of these films the black guy might be in the popular group but doesn't seem to always fit in and also give an impression they are intimidating and might be an outsider in the popular group.
3.The 'pretty popular girls'
The stereotype of the slutty girls is also one of the main characters portrayed in teen movies. In most film they are always portrayed as the girl who is at the centre of all the drama and attention. However at the end of the film it does not plan out how they want it and ends badly for them.
3.The Geeks
The geek is commonly always picked on by the jocks and all the other popular boy and girls. They always seem to fall for the most prettiest girl who is also the most meanest. Furthermore, they also seem to wear glasses, checkered shirt and having a backpack and holding books. They are usually male in teen movies rather than being female geeks. However, there are some female geeks who are all portrayed to be ugly and uncool.
5.The perfect Girl
The perfect is always seem to be in a teen movie because they are usually 'the good girl'. They are always have something different about them. The character of the perfect girl is flawless, this includes her having perfect hair, beautiful looks, well dressed and is seen usually walking slowly past their admirer.
