Film Titles Analysis

10 Thing I Hate About You
The word hate can be associated with teenagers as they can be perceived stereotypically moody.
The use of the word 'you' makes the title seem more personal as it is directly talking to the audience.

Mean Girls
Again the word mean is associated with moodiness, which is relatable to teenagers.
The fact that this title identifies a stereotypical group within a high school, allows the audience to presume what the film is going to be about and also creates a sense of reliability as they might know a group of 'mean girls' in their school themselves.

Easy A
At a first glance this seems like the film would be about a student who can easily get A's in all of her classes. The word easy suggests that the individual doesn't have to work hard to get the good grades and it almost comes naturally to them.

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
This is quite a random title and includes all aspects that could be associated with a teenage girl. Angus represents a crush, which is extremely common in all teen angst films, 'thongs' represents the young girl growing up into a teenager as this is potentially considered an adults item of clothing. Finally, 'perfect snogging' also refers to the girl coming of age where falling in love and 'snogging' is a natural part of life.

Wildchild
This could refer to a stereotypical teenager, as they are sometimes perceived as wild due to their stereotypical actions such as, constantly going out to parties and staying up late. This can be considered as 'wild' as it is not the usual/normal activity.

Twilight
The word twilight is also another word for midnight. This could suggest that teenagers are always stereotypical awake at midnight or that this is the time they go to sleep. However, after watching the film it is clear why the film is in fact called twilight. This is because the film is centred around the idea of vampires and wolves. At midnight, vampires are able to go outside without worry as there i9s no sunlight to potentially kill them and it is also a chance for them to go hunting as they cannot be easily seen.

Clueless
Clueless could refer to the way that older people may perceive teenagers, more commonly elderly people. This is because they are older so they have experienced more thus suggesting that they always know more than people younger them then. It could also refer to the stereotypical blonde teenage girl, who is supposed to not be very smart, which gives her the appearance of being 'clueless'

13 Going on 30
13 is the age where someone becomes a teenager, from here it is common that the individual is always wishing they were older as they feel like being a teenager is maybe stupid as they cannot do anything. Although this is not true, this is the way in which teenagers perceive life stereotypically. The fact that this film is called 13 going on 30 could suggest that this is the case for a certain teenager, which the film revolves around.
