We can see that they are living in a normal house, maybe three or four bedroom and as each child has their own room we can see that this is maybe a middle class family, we can also see this buy looking at the furniture. Tony is lying in bed and we can see a birds eye view shot of his duvet, which seems to be the body of a naked man and female. We automatically start to question what kind of a teenager he is as he has this duvet and who may have bought it for him.
What do you think Tonys representation is? Think about camera types and behaviour. Are stereotypes or/and countertypes used?
I think that Tony is represented as a different teenager, as soon as the sun comes out he jumps out of bed most teenagers would be reluctant to get of bed in the morning they would want to sleep a little longer. Also as soon as he gets out of bed he starts to work out and we can see that Tony is very cautious about his body and maybe he wants to stay fit to please the women. I don't think that Tony is portrayed in a stereotypical way, he seems very confident and when his sister comes home in the morning he helps her out, he doesn't seem to care much that his younger sister has been out all night.
What is the genre? does Tonys representation fit in to the genre?
I think that the genre would be comedy, because its about the life of crazy teenagers. I think Tonys character fits in well with the genre because he likes to take annoy people like his father and make them look stupid. Tony is the type of person who makes others feel intimidated.
Can we tell how the narrative will unfold? suggest some ways
You can't tell much just by looking at Tony, but by looking at his character we can say that something crazy is about to happen because, he may have friends who are wild and his social group may be made up of different types of people and together they're just a wild group of teenagers who do things that teenagers do.

We start with the shot of Tony in bed with the camera in a close up of him - why use this shot? Then we see him in his under pants - why?
I think it starts with the close up just to show that its a normal boy, but as soon as it starts to move out we think hold on a minute what's wrong with his duvet, what kind of a teenager is he, and as we think that we see Tony in his under pants, which then makes us believe that this is in fact maybe a normal teenage boy because most boys tend to sleep in their underpants.
Discuss the mise-en-scene, particularly of his bedroom. Does it tell us anything about Tonys lifestyle?
The bedroom tells us a lot about Tonys lifestyle, we see that he likes to work out he likes to look after himself and his body. As he looks out the window he watches the neighbour woman get changed so we see that he's a normal boy who's also into girls etc. The bedsheets give away a lot about Tony and confuse the audience at the same time they make us realise he's different just because he has those bedsheets not only does this make us feel different about Tony but also about his family for letting him have those sheets.
How is Tonys sister Effy represented? How is their relationship represented?
Effy is also represented in a different way, she had been out partying all night and came home in the morning and she waits outside for her brother to distract his dad so she can sneak up. This shows that they may be close because Tony is helping out his sister but normally brothers don't tend to let their sisters go out at night, Tony doesn't seem to be protective over his sister.
His dad doesn't seem to be the boss, he can't control his children because Tony irritates him and his dad doesn't do anything about it other then swear, and his daughter goes out at night and the father is unaware of this. By this we can see that the father does not do much and he's not very close with his children.
