In this close up of Finn putting the camera in the bag the stereotype that teenage boys can't be trusted is confirmed. This is shown from the fact that Finn is trying to hid the camera and put it back without the teacher noticing. This relates to age because it is showing that the youths can't be trusted with expensive equipment. This shot has been used to tell the audience that Finn and Josh have broken something and are now trying to cover it up so that they don't get in trouble, this is stereotypical of most youths because most youths will try and cover up the fact that they have done something wrong.
In this medium long shot the teacher can be seen catching the boys in the act. This shows that the older character has power over the boys as he is in charge of them and can discipline them, if necessary, the fact that Finn is trying to hide the broken camera in his jackets shows that he doesn't want to get in trouble but it also shows how naive he is because he is doing it right in front of the teacher. This confirms the stereotype that teachers hold power over students, but is also shows that the boys have no respect for the teacher because they are not telling him what they have done they are trying to cover it up so that they don't get in trouble.
In this medium long shot a stereotype is broken, the stereotype that Students tell on other students has been broken however in this shot the teacher is the one telling on the students and getting them into trouble. The older character is represented in a negative way because of the fact that he has a smug look on his face due to the fact that he haas got the boys in trouble. 3 age groups are show in this shot, young people, adults and older people. They are shown in a stereotypical way as both the older person and the adult have power over the youths and because the adult has power over the older person. The power the adult has over the older person is shown through the fact that rather than disciplining the students himself he is handing the job over the the young member of staff. The Adults power over the students is shown through costuming because she is in smart dress while the students and all in uniform.
In this medium shot a pan has been used panning round from the door to the boy. A pan has been used to show that the setting has changed and the fact that it is the site managers door tells the audience that the boy is at the door for one of two reasons, to either report something that has happened around the school or he has been set there as part of punishment. The use of costumes shows the fact that the boy, Kyle, has no respect for the school or the standards it holds. His body language shows that he doesn't want to be there and this is stereotypical of teenage boys. The use of the tie as a prop allows the audience to see where it fits in as a character but it also links to the fact that he has no respect for the school because it is scruffy, again this is a stereotype as most boys don't like wearing their tie up at their neck.
This medium long shot is again used to set the scene and tell this audience where this bit of action is taking place. The use of Diegetic sound in this shot allows the audience to understand that the students are in a corridor and that it is either in between lessons or it is lunch time. The use of diegetic sound helps towards the representation of age because many people would associate teenagers with is noise and chatter.
This medium close up. The 180 rule is broken however because the character has ale moved to the other side of the line the break is un-obvious. This shot is stereotypical of age because most people. A lot of young people in schools are portrayed as aggressive and rude, this shot confirms this stereotype because of the fact that Amy has completely changed he body language and attitude from the previous shot to show her shouting at Harry. This gives this age group a bad name because of the fact that she is portrayed as a bit of a thug and a bit violent.
This establishing shot is used to show that the setting has changed again. It has also been used to show that the adult in the room has power over the children, the fact that he is standing up also gives him more power over the students. This shot is cut straight from the other shot which leaves the audience wondering what is going to become of what happened in the previous scene. The use of costumes also shows the difference between the adult and the students because even thought they are all wearing the same thing, a shirt and tie, the fact that the teacher is wearing a pink shit and a pink and purple stripy tie tells the audience that because he isn't a student so therefore holds more power than the students, wearing a white shit and a yellow and maroon stripy tie.
This close up of Ronan and Vicki is used to show how close their relationship is and how well they get on, however the look on her face doesn't support what the scene is trying to portray.This gives the audience the impression that she doesn't really what the relationship that she currently has with Ronan. This makes her look like another teenager who has rushed into a serious relationship quickly and doesn't really know what she is doing, a typical mistake made by young couple.
The use of matching eye lines shows the mutual respect between the 2 students because they are looking directly at each other showing they are on the same level as each other. This links to Age because even though in the scene Amy looks like she has more control over Stuart the fact that they are looking at each other shows that they are both in same position of power. Their young age makes the situation worse as it will be considered bulling.
The tilt of the teachers body and the low angle shot make he like he has all the power. In these shots age is represented in an un-stereotypical way because you never really see an Adult wearing these types of clothes. The fact that he is asking if the trousers are supposed to look like that reinforces how un-stereotypical the outfit is for people in his age group. Even though the high angle shot is used to show that he has power it is clear that he does and that he doesn't because the 2 girls shown in the medium long shot, below, are just laughing at him and if he had control of the situation then they wouldn't be laughing. This shows how un-stereotypical the situation is because the teacher doesn't have control over the girls do and the fact that he gets angry over the situation show just how much he doesn't like not having control over the situation and gets embarrassed because they are laughing at him rather that with him this also show the difference in age because even though he thinks what he is wearing is cool and modern and what the kids wear he is in fact wrong because the generation that he thinks he is dressing as actually don't think the outfit is cool.
