Main Characters.
Tony- smart, confident, charming- May not be considered as a typical teen. Wake's up early morning with a tidy room with bed sheets in order. Begin with a close up of him in the bed, zooming out to reveal his bed sheets and the rest of his room. Tony is a counter stereotype - Complete opposite to what we see as a stereotypical teen.
Cassie- Anorexic, self-harming, drug-addict-
Chris- Party animal- Seen in bed with a girl. Just been woken up by Tony's phone call. Says he is 'Busy' suggesting some sexual activity's with the girl known only as 'buck-teeth' Links to stereotype of teenagers being all about sex.
Sid- ompletely opposite to what we see of tony. He is lazy and doesn't wake up in the mornings, messed up room with clothes on the floor and used plates everywhere. Also he is a virgin whilst Tony seems not to be.
He's represented as a typical teenage stereotype. described as a 'waste of space' by his dad.
Effy- Tonys younger, misleading sister.
Anwar- Religous family (however he is not the same). Another stereotype used, but that of a muslim. Seen doing prayers in the religious dress code. Not happy about being disturbed. This changes once he's on the phone to Tony, as they start discussing have a 'Gay night out' and having sex with the females they meet that are desperate for it.
Maxxie- Can have any boy he wants- Comes across as being very feminine. It's his 'gay night out' being discussed by the other characters. Seen tap dancing on his own practicing for the show. Could be the one to make up the group - There's always a gay in the group
Michelle- attractive, witty- first shot of he is her legs, camera follows them up to her towel as she is on the phone to Tony discussing helping Sid lose his virginity. Helps create a profile for her character - maybe the group hoe? All the boys want to get with her? The shot of her legs relates to Laura Mulvey's theory of the 'Male Gaze' - Camera portrays her only in a sexual manner.
Abigail- Posh + pretty.
