Transport For Teen Openings

 Ways of Travelling in Teen Movies

British based teen movies wouldn't include teens in cars compared to an american teen film. If the teens where still in high school/College we would see them arriving in different types of transportation such as Bus or Tube. This has a huge difference compared to American teen movies as american teens would be driving from the age of 16, however British teens do not drive at this age. In some ways the form of transport they pick will also depict their character. For example:

                        

Walking

A teenager that walks to school alone tells the
audience that he/she is a 'Loner' or possibly isn't every popular at school, The fact he/she isn't on the bus could also mean that they cannot afford the bus fair or any other form of transportation.
However if there is a group of teens walking this could mean they are the popular kids or friends.

                    

Bus
Teens who travel by bus will probably be an average teenager. They usually get the bus with their friends.
 This also means that the teenager can afford the bus fair which could suggest their parents are middle class, for example the teen that walks doesn't get the bus because they cannot afford it, however this teen does. 

                           

Tube
A teenager who gets the tube means that they live far away from their school, This could suggest that the teen lives in the suburbs, an area that is better then the city, Therefore they choose to travel by tube. This doesn't necessarily suggest anything about the teenagers status in school.

                         

Skateboard
A teenager who skateboards to school can suggest that they like to be alone, or it could also mean that they are seen as the 'cool kid' either way by using a skateboard this part of their image. The skateboarder is usually stereotyped as not being a very good student. But sometimes they are actually a very good student.
