One of the way that my movie subverts the stereotype of age is through Matthew Haddock or Simon Lunar. It is obvious that he is a young man but he is successful, he is dressed in a suit which shows sophistication and he is trying to help another person, This subverts the stereotype of young people behaving in a criminal like manner, being deviant and not willing to help other people in need. The killer is dressed in all black and this is an ideology that older people have towards young people (wearing all black, taking part in anti-social behaviour and overall being deviant and being a danger to society). But her socks are white and this can be conveyed as young people having this dark persona but under all that persona they have a small sense of consciousness and purity.

Another way that it subverts stereotypes of young people not being able to take control of any situation that they are in is when Charlotte seeks for help and wanting to take control over her emotions. However it can also be said that this is not her taking control of the situation it’s just her finding an alternative and also being dependant on other people.

Society also has a stereotype of young people not willing to take responsibility for their action and my movie does confirm with this to an extent. An example of how it agrees with this is that the killer doesn’t recognise the crime she’s done and she just ignores it by going back to her normal life. The movie also represents young people as being unaware to the situation and not knowing what to do so they seek to google for their answers. This is represented because when she kills her sister she didn’t know what to do so she goes on google to find an answer but she wasn’t able to do that so she reacts back with the aggression (shown when she shuts the laptop) and pushes it to the side. She then goes back to what ‘normal’ teenagers do and that is to eat and watch TV.
