Superbad is an American comedy film, the sub-genre of this is a teen comedy. By being this sub-genre the setting will obiously be set in high school as in most films, teen comedy such as '10 things i hate about you' is set in high school.
In the clip, three teens are sown and each are represented differently, one is Foggell who is the nerd, this is shown through the costume as he wears glasses which labels him as a 'geek'. Whereas Evan is represented as the normal one as he is presented the calm guy who, in the scene is calm in the situation plus he is seen as the underdog in he film. Unlike the third character who is sown as the rebel, this is displayed to the audience when he asks to see the Fake ID his friend made which shows us that he like to live on thee by breaking the rules.
The typical narratives is that this film is about 3 high school students who are portrayed as losers who want to be with popular girls. Binary opposition is also clearly represented here as there is a clear distinction between the losers and the ones at the top of the hierarchy, in this case the popular kids, e.g Jocks in American schools.
