Question two: How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our media product represents different social groups throughout. The first is that of teenage boys.
Teenage boys are represented in our opening sequence as the main character who is the sole focus of the opening sequence is a teenage boy. The audience can recognise that he portrays the typical aspects of being a teenage boy, he is dressed wearing a hoodie, a tracksuit and a baseball cap which are all items of clothing associated with this age range. He is also behaving in a suspicious manner by constantly looking away from others and this suspicious behaviour is typical of teenage boys.
The lower social classes are also represented in the opening sequence. The main character is obviously from a low social class as he is seen to have no money, his family live in a rundown area and there is lots of poverty in the area in which he lives. The audience can recognise the portrayal of low social class by the area in which the film takes place, the area is typical of those areas within inner London as it is seen to be a place of high crime, drugs and violence.
