10 things I hate about you- The outcast
In the teen film 10 things I Hate About You (1999) the
character Patrick Verona is played by Heath Ledger now his character is
represented in a number of different ways in this film mainly as the outcast but
also sometimes as the criminal. This
stereotype is identifies through the use of the different technical elements.
Now as this character is supposed be very dangerous is
sometimes seen in the frame holding sharp objects in order to strike fear in
the other characters. His costume tends to contain dark colours which are often
seen on people who prefer to be by their own and also who seem dangerous. Also
the performance by all of the characters helps to show his stereotype in the
film. The other characters in the film tend to avoid this character as much as
possible showing that he is alienated from other students.
The Breakfast club – The princess
In the teen film The Breakfast club (1985) the character
Claire Standish is represented as the rich spoilt princess. This stereotype can be shown throughout the
use of the technical elements: Mise-en-Scene, sound, camera.
This representation of this character is seen the first
moment we see her through her dialogue in which she is constantly complaining to
her father by the way that her father reacts shows that the girl is treated
like a princess as he hands her a shopping bag and tells her he will buy her a
present later. Also the use of the sports car shows this as it a very expensive
car showing that her family has money. The costume used is very bright and
girly with the use of a lot of pink clothing which is often seen being worn by
the princess in the story.
