Another possibility we considered was spoofing a famous poster of a more traditional, wholesome, American teen movie as opposed to the grittied, British fare we are trying to capture. We got this idea from the documentary, American Teen- the poster for the show spoofed the famous Breakfast Club poster.
From what I can gather from these examples, it seems the posters of almost every teen movie feature a big group of teenagers, usually attractive ones, dressed in whatetever clothes display their social status, or often semi-clad to promote sex appeal, as shown in the Skins and Tormented posters, and even in the poster for Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
All of the posters for British teen movies make use of dark colours, probably to indicate the bleak and gritty content. This is a stark contrast to the warm, friendly colours used in the posters for the American teen movies, likely to promote the films being reasonably family-friendly.
