1. How does your media product
represent particular social groups?

2.  We decided to present our ‘drug dealer’ as a kind of scummy man,
wearing a grubby, stained t-shirt, with a rough face with stubble with
messy hair, as though he is someone you would avoid in the street and
someone you should be wary of because of his stereotype.
Stereotypically, drug dealers of this kind are associated with a ‘chavy’
background, we made this stereotype true by having our character in
tatty clothes with tracksuit bottoms with paint on, the paint shows that
he is a messy type of man.

3.  . In the table scene, we see a packet of tortilla chips,
typically you would buy a larger brand of tortilla chips, but
in our film, we used a cheap brand of tortilla chips to show
that he is cheap and tight with his money, even though he
has a nice house and drinks wine, as opposed to a cheap
beer or cider, we did this to try and break the stereotype
slightly, adding an unconventional twist to the film.

4.  We would like our capturer to fit into a middle class social
group, as the language used is fairly typical for that social
group, we used some adult sayings and phrasings to show
that the capturer is well educated, this is shown through his
use of similes and metaphors in the following section of
dialogue, ‘Some say a man’s wife is his world, his
everything, but what happens when you remove the wife?
The man’s world completely decays, like a snail in salt.’
