Our media product is set in the urban
areas of London; this is the ideal location in
order to represent young people. Social
realist films usually send out a message
about the issues people face in their
everyday life. Our film opening is about
struggling and benefitting from others
which in real life leads to violence causing
more problems arise. When our target
audience watches our film opening we, as
a group, would want them to be able to
recognise the issues raised by society as
our characters are young and stereotyped.
Our media product represents social
groups in a slightly negative way as our
characters are involved in violence and
money but this is to show the audience just
how harsh reality is.
