Elements of Film:Cinematography
The emphasis in TCOA movies is on plot and character development – this means that the camera work is not an important element.
Also, TCOA movies try to reflect real life situations, so the camera tries to remain as unnoticeable as possible.
Camera usually sticks to standard shot patterns – anything unusual will draw attention.

Elements of Film:Editing
Montage Sequences are used often to show the transformation from teenager to adult
Very little action, so the editing is relatively slow-paced
TCOA movies use a lot of sustained shots of people’s faces to emphasize the inner conflict

Elements of Film:Sound
Use of teen slang (whether it actually is used by teenagers or not)
Popular music Lots of dialogue – the focus is on
discussion, not action. Having lots of dialogue allows the viewer to track the characters growth.
