Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups ?

For our film we use many different social groups that we have presented in a stereotypical way.

The first social group which we portrayed was young teens. 

Stereotypically teens are seen as being lazy and moody people who are unemployed and aggressive. In our film however we decided to challenge this stereotype and make our main protagonist; who is a teenager seem naive and hard-working a sin our film opening she is doing a paper round something which is anti-stereotypically of people the same age.

The next social group that we looked into was middle aged men and women.

Within crime-dramas middle-aged people stereotypically play the antagonist (villain). Middle aged people are also stereotypically boring, uncool, unattractive and often seen as being dominant over others. In our film we tried to stick to this stereotype and made our hooded figure seem to have the characteristics of a stereotypical antagonist of a crime-drama.
