Evaluation - Question Two - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The way in which our media product represents social groups is that all of our characters were teenagers aged between 16-18 year olds which is very similar to the characters in a movie which is newly released called ‘Attack the Block’ which is about a teen gang in South London defending their block from an alien invasion, this puts these characters and teenagers in a positive light because in the current society young adults and teenagers are put in a negative light because of anti-social behaviours, crime and other factors. Therefore this is one of the main reasons why we used teenagers as the main characters on the movie because it will hopefully add a positive effect on the way this social group is represented.
