Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our film opening we have looked at two different social groups. The first group we are presenting are teenagers and how they are stereotypically shown in the media. They are presented as being lazy and moody who can't keep jobs so instead go round causing trouble. However we have challenged this stereotype in our own opening as presenting all three teenagers as active and our main actor (Genette) is doing a paper round and can hold a job.

Because our film opening was based on a true event and the supposed kidnapper Robert Black was a middle aged man we had to stick to this, however this is stereotypical as in crime dramas they usually play the bad person or killer. Middle aged men are usually presented as being grumpy and boring.
