Popular props used in a teen movie

In all teen movies there are certain props that are used to make the film seem more realistic and they make the genre recognizable so the audience know what genre it is. As we are doing a teen horror film we will be using some of these props in our project.

Mobile phones are a popular prop in a teen movie, this gives the film a sense of realism because the majority of teens now all own a mobile phone

Also other kind of technology such as laptops, ipods and walkmans are used becaue a lot of teens own them.
Another popular prop that is used in teen films but are mainly used in American teen films are cars. It is more popular in America because the driving age is a lot lower than it is in the UK. However some teen movies set in the UK use cars because some are set in college.

In our project we will be using some of these props but the main teen prop we will be using that we haven't mentioned here is a camera. This is the main prop we will be using as it helps sets up enigma's in our opening sequence.
