Editor's Notes
What is the location, what are the colours, materials, decorative details – what can we read into this?
How do they fit in with the location?
Do they care about their enviroment
Colours – grey (no hope, no motivation)
Lighting? Colours?
What have they done to make themselves stand out?
How are they ‘together’
Why orange jumpsuits?
What is the stereotype and how does the costume/hair/make up communicate that
Rewatch open up to outside painting
Idea that teens are very emotional
Teens hang out in packs they are quickly establishing hierarchies, relationships are important, sexual relationships (Curtis and Alisha) pack culture but Simon is the odd one out – how/)
They panic/don’t think
