How age is represented in The Inbetweeners.

The Inbetweeners Movie.



Age is represented in this short clip, they are teenagers that have just finished there a leves so they go on a holiday together, during this holiday they pretty much sleep all day, and party all night. They go on holiday to malia which is known for its clubs and good nights out, alot of the footage seen in the film is filmed in Magaluf. But they still say that they went to malia. Why this is im not sure. 
The film trailer shows them partying and having a good time and doing the kind of things expected on people of the same age. They go out, get drunk, and get girls. The trailer represents that alot if not most of the young adults/ teens are like this. They like to have a good time, and like alcahol.
In the clip we can see that although they are the same age and may seem the same, they all have there differences. Will is the most different, as he was moved from a private school to the scholl where he met the other 3. He shows signs of maturity and looks after the others when they are too drunk to look after themselves.
