'Angel3323' played by Chloe is the silll but pretty blonde girl that sees no wrong with the world. She is very selfobsessed. This is an example of a stereotypically teenage girl.
In the opening title sequence we have chosen to represent her as a silly, innocent girl because this is what is expected by audiences going to see a horror film with teens in it. We also represented her in this way so that our target audience, teens and young adults, could relate to her. The audience may also get gratification from watching her because 'Angeldust' is one of those films where you scream at the TV because they are going into the dark house when the door has been opened and the lights don't work or they decide to walk home through the haunted wood or something along those lines. So the audience can have the gratification that if they were in that situation they wouldn't do the things the stupid characters in the horror film did.
'Angel3323' also represents the middle class teenage girl who gets what she wants from Daddy and gets to go to paris etc. but all under supervision. This makes her very naive and innocent and not street wise therefore thinking the world is all ok. Well everyone knows it isn't and that it's tough.
These are both stereotypes and 'Angel3323' represents both of them. Although there is probably some people out there like her and do conform exactly to these stereotypes.
In films like 'Cabin Fever' the teenagers are all very naive but however it does oppose conventions of a teen horror movie. But the stereotypical girls are still represent in it.
The goody goody girl dies first, which is very unconventual because she usually survives till the end but she doesn't in Cabin Fever and I think this i what we have done with Angel3323 in Angeldust.
