P.E.E - Example

Explanation - link the two
e.g. This conforms to a stereotypical view of young teenagers, that they are rebellious in speaking their own language.

P.E.E - Youth vs Old

Youth is represented in this clip by placing a gang of drunken teenagers in a quiet pub with middle aged men and women. Close up, blurred shots are used to show the teenagers drinking and taking drugs with bright colours flashing, it then straight cuts to a mid-shot of a middle aged man taking a pull of his drink in dull lighting to show the affect isn’t actually all that great. This shows that the youths aren’t used to drinking and are more influenced by drink and drugs than adults.

P.E.E - Sound

Youth is represented through non-diegetic sound; music over track is used throughout the whole of the clip to show the upbeat personalities of the teenagers, a sting is then used when Cook lights up the firework and diegetic sound is thrown into the sequence and everything speeds up. Lots of shouting and blood splatter is used throughout the fight scene to connote that teenagers like to fight when they get drunk. Overall the music gives a upbeat atmosphere and lets the audience see it from the teenagers point of view.
