How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media product represents a variety of social groups through the use of costume, ethnic background and location. Through the use of costume, we see that the characters aren’t wearing any valued attires, however on the other hand they are dressed very casual making the viewer believe they are teenagers. Ethnic background plays a large role in representing social groups as a mixture of characters of different ethnic background can be very appealing to more audience. Our film does this by juxta posing an Asian male with a Black male. The film excludes the use of female characters; however this isn’t intentional as we happen to be an all male group. In one sense however, the use of female characters, in my opinion, wouldn’t be included in a generic film of this type because audiences usually associate an action comedy film of this type with only males, however in another sense they could be used as character actors adding to the realism of the film. Finally, the filming locations represent where young teens are familiar to and tend to often go, as there are many takeaways and shops. Thus this creates our media product to portray a typical day around these areas.
