Analysis of a teen film: 21 Jump Street
21 Jump Street
The film I have decided to analysis is 21 Jump Street, this film is about a pair of underachieving cops who are sent back to their old high school to go undercover and bring down a synthetic drug ring.
Main Cast
- Jonah Hill as Morton Schmidt
- Channing Tatum as Greg Jenko
- Dave Franco as Eric
- Brie Larson as Molly
- Rob Riggle as Mr. Walters
- DeRay Davis as Domingo
- Ice Cube as Capt. Dickson
21 Jump Street is considered to be a teen movie because it shows teenagers and how they act when they're in a high school environment. Although the actors are not teenagers, they portray teenage characters in the beginning of the film and then when going undercover they take on the stereotypical characteristics of teenagers in order to fit in. Also, the film was mainly created for a teenage audience as the setting is mainly based in a high school. It also explores themes and topics that would appeal to teenagers, such as: Relationships, Drugs, Sex, Partying, Rebellion, Prom, etc.
The conventions which makes this a teen film are unlike any other film. Usually, you would have a girl and a boy develop feelings for each other as the film goes on. However, in this film we see the relationship between Jenko and Schmidt and how that evolves. Like any other teen film, Jenko is the stereotypical good looking Jock who doesn't care about school and is rebellious to the school system, but then you have Schmidt who is obsessed with Eminem which is shown with the bleached hair and the clothes he wears, he is a science geek, he has low self esteem and follows the school system. However when they are sent undercover back to high school as students, the stereotypical roles are reversed as being the jock isn't seen as cool and being smart is seen as cool among the students of today at high school.

Step Up 2: The Streets Review
Step Up 2: The Streets Review
Step Up 2 is the sequel to Step Up. Step Up 2 is a teen drama as it has typical locations seen in teen films such as being placed at a school. The themes for this teen film is romance, drama, relationships, and dance. The conventions that make this a teen drama is the romance between the two main characters Chase and Andie. Another reason this teen drama was a typical teen film was because of how the characters were portrayed, Chase was the typical charming 'good-looking' boy and Andie is the rebellious teenager who then starts to attend the prestigious Maryland School of the Arts and is seen as an outcast at first but then becomes popular as she and Chase form a dance group and compete at The Streets.
One way this film reflects on teens and modern culture is even though all the characters are from different backgrounds and culture but yet they still have the same dream to become dancers. Another way this film reflects on teenagers nowadays is that most teens are underestimated or misunderstood before been given a chance. Also another way would be through competition, most teens nowadays are always competing against each other and everything is a competition on who does best and who comes first.
The clique in this teen film is different to other cliques in teen films the characters do different things at the beginning of the film but then join as a dance group and are only seen together while rehearsing and out of school as they are competing in a competition while attending MSA which is forbidden. They are not your typical clique that you would find in a teen film. For example like ' the mean girls' or 'the nerds', in this clique you have an element of everything including, the nerd, the good -looking guy and the outcast. They do however become popular at the end of the movie when the compete at The Streets and do a dance routine which is well choreographed and they out shine they other dance groups that are battling at The Streets.
One way this film is different is that where the dancing takes place is in the streets and the film is more to dance and competition. The film is different from the Bling Ring as it does have a happy ending. Andie is seen as an outcast when she first attends MSA and is underestimated by the director of the school but then becomes popular at the end of the film, this is something common to other teen films such as High School Musical. One thing this film represents is the influence of friends, at the beginning of this film Andie is seen with a group of dancers who vandalise and are wanted by the police but once she starts attending MSA and leaves 410 her previous dance group she becomes focused on her education and dancing. The reason I like this film is because of the choreography of the dance routines taken place and it has a romance side to it as well as a happy ending.

Analysis of Teen Movie
Twilight
The teen movie i have chosen to do a analysis of is twilight, i chose this movei because it is a very popular movie and is a typical conventional teen movie.
The movie is about a girl who starts and new school and falls in love with a guy at the school who she later finds out is a vampire.
The movie was directed by Ctherine Hardwicke.
The movie was produced by Wyck Godfrey
The screenplay was written by Melissa Rosenberg
The main actors of the movie were:
-Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan
-Robert Pettinson as Edward Cullen
-Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black
-Ashley Green as Alice Cullen
-Kellan Lutz as Emmet Cullen
-Jackson Rathbone as Jasper Cullen
-Nikki Reed as Rosalie Cullen
The twilight movie is a romance fantisy film based on a novel. The movie is a teen movie because it has the conventions of a typical teen movie. The movie starts off in high school with there being a new kid, this new kid is Bella, the movie also has an outsider charicter that no one really talks to, who sticks to his own group, this is Edward Cullen throughout the movie the two encounter each others presance quite a few times and they both end up liking each other.This attracts the teen audince, girls in particular because of the romance between Bella and Edward.
The movie has conventions of a typical teen movie, these conventions consit of the locations that the movie is placed in; at first they are in high school, there are also scenes at the library, the bedroom ect. The movie also has conventional charicters; the outcast, the new person, the pretty girl, the good looking guy ect.
Because twilight is a romance fantisy film the movie has vampires, this attracts audinces that are into the fantisy type of movies. The twilight movie also had fans before the movie came out due to the novels being sucessful, this also enhanced success in the movie.
The fantisy side of the movie is what makes twilight diffrent to other conventional teen movies, the movie is about vampires and how a vampire falls in love with a humen, but the twilight movie is diffrent to other typical vampire movies which makes it diffrent as well as successful.
I like this movie because it has a diffrent portrayal of vampire movies it also has an interesting love stoy that goes on through out the movie, the movie story later becomes a love triangle in the sequals to the movie which keeps me interested to find out what happenes with the couple in the end.
This is a very good movie for teenage girls to watch because it has all the conventions that a teenage girl would like.
