Clueless

This film follows Cher, a rich, popular high school student, who tries to help out others using her knowledge and the help of her equally rich and popular best friend, Dionne. To begin with, she tries to get two single teachers to date in an attempt to improve her bad report card, but realises that she actually likes helping others and “adopts” a new, uncool girl, Tai. The best friends give her a makeover and attempt to get her a boyfriend – which backfires when Tai announces that she fancies Josh, Cher’s ex-stepbrother and the guy that she likes too. After some drama, Tai falls in love with another guy named Travis, Cher kisses Josh and their friendship is intact again.

Teens would be drawn to watching this film because it follows the lives of teenage girls like themselves and they may be able to relate to some aspects. The story is also a romantic comedy, which is very popular with teenage girls and encourages them to watch it.

This scene shows that the girls are nerdy and this is very obvious to who is watching the film because they are holding books and folders. The girls on the right is more typical of a teen angst nerd because her clothes aren't as stylish and expensive as Cher's. The colour scheme of the girls' clothes is very earthy and dark, which contrasts to Cher and Dionne's usual outfits because they are usually dressed in very bright clothes. Tai's facial expression shows that she is not as confident as the popular girls and that she feel less insecure as part of a group. This film doesn't follow the usual stereotypes of teen angst films because the popular girl is usually dumb and doesn't care about school.
