Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging

Settings

The beach

The film is set in a seaside town, where nothing exciting tends to happen. This was according to the main charcter 'Georgia'. This is relatable to the audience who probably live in a similar type of setting. Many teenagers agree with the fact that there town is boring and dull. 

The school

A main setting within the film is the school, it is an English school. This establishing shot shows one of the main settings in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. School is an example of iconography. This because when you see schools you think of teenagers. Schools are quite a common setting for teen angst films as being at school is a big part of a teenager's life and especially as within a school it is one the main places for teens to gain a social life.

Mise-En-Scene
School uniform

The school uniform is a tartan knee length skirt, blazer and tie. The school uniform connotes they are still quite young. The girls are all wearing there uniform in the correct manner. This shows that they are well behaved and come across stereotypically as uncool.

Make-up

Cosmetic equipment such as makeup, eyebrow tweezers etc is a main form of Mise-En-Scene within Angus thongs and perfect snogging. It is iconography of a teenage girl, as they stereotypically care more about their appearance then males do. 

Lighting

The lighting used within the film is overall mainly high key. This represents the mood of the film. The lighting throughout connotes the everyday ups and downs of Georgias stereotypical teenage life. However when Georgia falls out with everyone the lighting changes to low key lighting to set the mood. It makes the audience feel sympathy for her.

Narative
Angus the fluffy cat retains its dignity even in a crazy Eastbourne family, unlike them. Eldest daughter Georgia is completely besotted with 'Stiff Dylans' band hottie Robbie, who just moved in from London and helps run an organic groceries shop with his brother Tom, whom her best friend Jas has the hots for. Peter Dyer calls Georgia his best ever kissing-course pupil, but she ignores him and later the brothers' other classmate Dave the Laugh. Robbie was considering to dump haughty Lindsay, but reconsiders given the immature brat's apparent cruelty. Thus manipulative Georgia keeps changing her mind about a grand birthday party and her father's career opportunities as engineer in New Zealand, while mother seems to flirt.
