Conforming to conventions
Settings- we have chosen to shoot our scenes outside a school, in the characters bedrooms and down an ordinary street. This conforms to comedy conventions by using everyday and relatable settings. This helps keep a sense of relate ability and so creates verisimilitude
Familiar and relatable activities- getting ready for school
Issues- social relations
Costume to illustrate character types-uses American stereotypes because its clear that America teen comedies are popular with British teens and so they should be able to identify the characters easily
