The mise en scene of the protagonists bedroom challenges and conforms to stereotypical views about youth culture. The establishing shot suggests that the series targets a teenage audience and it will follow the life and experiences of a teenager. The duvet cover shown is of a double bed with a naked man and woman, suggesting that this age group is sexually charged. The protagonist is positioned in the middle of the two bodies suggesting that he is sexually inexperienced. It could also be suggesting that he is alone and confused about his sexuality, which conforms to teenage sterotypes.In this shot natural lighting is used to give a sense of realism so the teenage audience identifies with the life of the protagonist.
The protagonists bedroom challenges the stereotype theory of teenagers being messy. This challenges it because the protagonist's bedroom was neat and organised, for example his draws were full with neat folded polo shirts, instead of just being chucked around his room, this being the stereptype expected, his sister contrasts him with this, whereas he is neat and tidy, she is almost the complete opposite, having an untidy bedroom and coming home late when she wasnt suppost to be going out at all.
