A Good film poster is a film poster that shows the main characters; and have a slogan saying something giving a sneak peak of whats going to happen in the film, has colors to represent the genre of the film, maybe showing a enemy; and a good guy; i also think that the title of the film should be eye-catching and the picture should blend in with the background, or stand out from it; to make it distinct, and eye-catching.

Representation on Teenagers.
Intro
I Have chosen to represent the media's view on teenagers, i have chosen this, as i can relate to people i know, or have experienced it, Teenagers are very stereotyped, as the drunk, hoodie wearing, and noisy people, when really, that's only a certain few teenagers.
Eastenders;
Jay from Eastenders, was stereotyped as a typical 'teenager' as he used to wear Hoodies, and used to hang around in Gangs, he was proposed as a typical teenager; lazy, wearing hoodies, hanging around in gangs, carrying knives. This is a typical stereotype of a typical teenager.
KidultHood;
Anuvahood;
This film is a stereotypical film, as there is a part in the film where 2 Guys,
go to stab ("shank") Kay, this is stereotyped, as the media have stereotyped, This scene, as typical teenagers are people with hoods up who carry knives, and shank people. This film is a Typical stereotype of what a typical teenager would do, due to stereotyped typical teenagers, this film shows teenagers as aggressive, loud, drug addicts, and more.
News
Stories like this in the media like this story, about 8 youths who have committed 90 crimes in the last 13 months, have been locked up for no less than 16 years; makes people think that all teenagers are like this, committing crimes, getting drunk e.c.t.
The media have stereotyped all teenagers to be like these eight youths who have been locked up, however, there are very few teenagers like this, this stereotype is very unfair on teenagers who follow the law, and don't do everything that the stereotyped Teenager would do.
CONCLUSION
To conclude; teenagers are stereotyped as loud, hoodie wearing, loud, adolescents. However, this stereotype is not suited for most teenagers, however, the stereotype has only been made, as they're are few teenagers who hang around in gangs, and wear hoodies..; however the stereotype has been made for all teenagers; which i think personally is unfair, as an adolescent, however, films such as Anuvahood; Kidulthood, are encouraging, this stereotype. However, the film is just a film, not real life, but people who watch this film, may think that this is suited too all teenagers, however, not all teenagers, are the stereotyped teenager that the media have stereotyped as a "typical teenager".
