The Monchhichi toy has large eyes and soft fur, which makes it comforting and could appeal to a younger audience. The words "limited edition" create a sense of exclusivity, encouraging the audience ti get the product before its gone.

key concept analysis

Language:

Just underneath the main title, it says "its happening so fast" so maybe we can expect for a fast paced movie about growing up faster than the young girls should.

Industry:

The film was co-produced by "Working Title Films" and "Antidote Films" and directed by Catherine Hardwicke, Co-wrtitten by her and Nikki Reed.

Audience:

The movie looks like its being mainly targeted towards young girls, with the young girls together and the title being "thirteen", but the colours dont exactly match, being dark and dull. The movie is rated 18 and i think its targeted towards girls 18-25.

Representation:

The movie poster shows 2 young girls sticking their tongues out, both have tongue piercings even though them seem to be underage. This could make teenagers come across as rebellious and immature.

I think there are more positives rather than negatives for young people, it helps them connect if they have the same interests or maybe its just a form of entertainment. Although it can have negatives, such as misinformation/fake news & heavily impact mental health, the media is 100% a positive thing for young people.
