The mise en scene of the protagonists bedroom challenges and conforms to stereotypical views about youth culture. The establishing shot suggests that the series targets a teenage audience and it will follow the life and experiences of a teenager. The duvet cover shown is of a double bed with a naked man and woman, suggesting that this age group is sexually charged. The protagonist is positioned in the middle of the two bodies suggesting that he is sexually inexperienced. It could also be suggesting that he is alone and confused about his sexuality, which conforms to teenage stereotypes.In this shot natural lighting is used to give a sense of realism so the teenage audience identifies with the life of the protagonist.
This is followed by shots of the room which show how clean and tidy the protaganists bedroom is, which challenges the stereotype of a teenager because usually they have untidy bedrooms. the protaganists bedroom is very organised and everything he owns has a certian spot in his bedroom. However his sister contrasts him as she is conforming to stereotypes as the glimse of her room that the audience get shows that she is a very intidy person which is a binory opposite to the protaganist.
