Media Language and Forms In Adulthood:

The use of smart clothing for characters such as Moony, connotes the use of props/ costumes to help challenge the stereotypical representations and views of teenage males as dressing down wearing hoodies, baggy bottoms (jeans and tracksuits) and scruffy trainers. Although, the use of skimpy clothing for female teenagers such as Lexi connotes the use of props/ costumes to reinforce the stereotypical views of teenage females as being presented and seen as sexual objects of desire, which links to Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze. Costume props are very crucial in representing the character such as Lexi wearing skimpy clothing like shorts and tops which connote promiscuity and Moony's smart coat, trousers and hat connote the intelligence of the character which helps challenge the teenage male views and representations.

Actions such as Sam grabbing hold of Claire in an abusive way to get information out of her. This then helps to reinforce and fits in with the stereotypical view of teenage males being violent and aggressive.
