A stereotype is a thought that may be adopted about specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things. These thoughts or beliefs may or may not accurately reflect reality.
I will be analysing the movie 'Not Another Teen Movie'. The stereotypes in this film are:
- Popular Jack
- Token Black Guy
- Cruelest Girl
- Popular Girl
- The boring girl that transforms
- The Virgin
- Obsessed best friend of popular girl
- The Geeks
The popular guy Jack is represented as handsome, the rich one that owns the school, usually dates the popular girl and is usually the one that plays for the schools football/basketball and is mainly the captain of this group.
The popular girl is represented with an obsessed best friend as well. The popular girl dates the popular boy, usually wears short skirts and low cut tops to express cleavage to everyone else, full on make up. Usually hangs around in her small group. The obsessed girl of the best friend that always copies her and is always next to her and agrees and backs up anything she says.
The boring girl that transforms is a girl thats normally in her own world that just studies and works, is not really allocated with another group. However when theres a party or end of year graduation this girl transforms into a hot girl that the popular guy is interested into after because he's never actually seen her.
The virgin is always the one that adores the popular and hot girl, is always trying to be seen by them and tries his best. Is usually a member of the geeks or wannabes and is obsessed by sex and is sometimes spotted spying on the girls in the changing rooms.
The geeks usually have their own group that they hang around with in the canteen with books. Always have books and are stereotyped as wearing glasses to show their hard work. Usually the cruelest girl that tries to sexualise him and uses him.
