Teen movies posters

Easy A Movie Poster
'Easy A' is a teen comedy film about a young teenage girl that is lying about loosing her virginity to increase her social life. From the first look at the poster, we can see a use of chalk board as a background. This shows that a main subject of this film is a school life. By the look at the writing on the background we can see some words such as 'easy' and 'tramp' with arrows pointing at the girl in the middle. This shows that those are the words to describe the her, this shows that her lie didn't work the way she wanted it to work. We can see from the writing on the poster that she is not a 'good student' as she is being called 'easy'. It shows that teenagers want to fit in, so they are lying just to impress others. We can also see it in the slogan 'Let's not say we did'. The layout is very simple, we can see a medium shot of a teenage girl with the title of the film at the bottom of the poster.  

Mean Girls Movie Poster

 Mean Girls is another teen comedy film. It talks about a new girl from African and a group of girls which are pretending to like her. From looking at the poster we can see a group of girls all dressed in pink what shows that they are very girly. However, we can see that a girl on the right hand side of the poster is wearing a brown tartan skirt and brown hair. She clearly stands out as she is contradicting the stereotype of brunette girl, as she is acting blond.  We can also see a girl on the left hand side, she is wearing jeans and a plain t-shirt. This shows a binary and opposition. The colours that we can see on the poster are mainly purples and pinks. This shows that the target audience for this film is mainly all girls. 
The difference between this poster and the other one is mainly the colour scheme. I would say that the target audience for 'easy a' is more open as it is a film for all teenagers and 'mean girls' is more for girls. Also the layout is very different as text on 'mean girls poster' is all over the place, it's not as clean.


Juno is another teen comedy film talking about a teen pregnancy. The background of the poster is quite simple as its only orange/ white strips which are also present on the girl's top. The font that has been used is quite childish compared to other posters. We can see what the film is about from looking at the main character. The layout of the poster is also very simple as on one side we have a picture of the characters and on the other side we have the text. The colours that have been used on the poster shows that the film is not for a specific gender. From the look at the way that characters are shown, we can see a teenager girl being pregnant. She is not a stereotypical girl as she is wearing plain and simple clothes.  From the look at the guy we can see that he is 'goofy/ nerdy', we can tell that from the way that he looks.
