The on screen representation of a typical female in a teen movie is seen in many aspects. for instance; the on screen representation will be a distinctive females role follows Laura Mulveys thoery of 'Sexual Objects'. This can be identified with the propps that they will be given to wear throughout the production. The clothing that the female characterers will wear are normally provoctative whereby; they will satisfy the audience and the 'Male Gaze'.
What's more, the make-up that is used upon these characters is bodily powerful as the typical make-up that is used on a female are; appealing lips and glowy eyes. This goes against the positive represetation of female characters in teen movies as the make-up is generally used to seduce the audience and therefore; this becomes a negative representation.
However, the off screen representation of females in teen movies differs as it does not follow the stereo-typical views of 'Blonde Bimbos' etc. The off screen representation of females can be positive as they may not be seen as 'Sexual Objects' etc. Further, this goes in opposition to the negative representaion as females may do other activties such as; go to the gym, socalise and do other things that teenagers do.
