Introducing a New Product

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our character represents the social group of young teenage boys of working class background. This look has been mainly carried through the use of costume which included a hood. This dress is mainly associated with deprived young men who seek to frustration ultimately challenging the norms of the society by being rebellious. Similarly the male character from Eden lake also comes from a deprived background as he plays a hooligan from a teenage gang. This character also wears a hood as its associated with violent young men. Both characters are less inclined to follow rules set by the society. For our character its the case of being mentally unstable as he plays a young man with psychological problems. Finally the character from Eden lake is also less likely to take that route mainly due to his social upbringing and current circumstances.

Character from Eden lake

Our character represents a typical teenage girl of a British household. The character has been portrayed as very feminine and simple. The main reason for this being is to make sure it comes across to the audience as being vulnerable. The use of make up is also very minimal which ultimately compliments the characteristics of this paticular character. Similarly the character from Eden lake also appears to have very little make up, which reflects her simplicity. However theres a vast difference in age between the two characters. Our film character is considerably younger therefore coming across as less mature and this is evident when she panics instantly in the film, therefore reflecting the stereotypes associated with young teenage girls In contrast the character from Eden lake is a lot mature and comes across as much more subtle.
