The idea that teenagers are curious about sex is reinforced through the over the shoulder shot used when he is looking at the older woman getting dressed through the window over the road. The shot is hand held so that the audience can have the same experience as the teenage main character. The following close up shot shows a lack of expression suggesting that this is routine and he has become disaffected by the image. This conforms to the stereotype that teenagers' lives are surrounded by sex and it plays a big part of their life.
The high and low angle shots used between the brother and sister suggest that they have a good relationship as the teenage boy is willing to cover for his young sister who has been out partying all night. The high angle shot suggests that the young girl is in a vulnerable situation and need her brothers help. The low angle shot suggests that the teenage boy has control over the situation as he is choosing to cover for his younger sister. These shots conform stereotypes as all youth sticks together.
