1. Evaluation Question:
Question Two
By Sophie Wallace

2. Which social groups feature in your
film?
• Gender;
– The genders of the main characters are female.
• Age
– The age of the main characters are of adolescence
(teenagers)
• Class
– The class of the main characters are of low
working class.

3. Gender
• The gender of both main characters are female.
• I portray these females as strong minded, this is
somewhat stereotypical, as a whole gender
females are very strong with their decisions they
make, however female teenagers are usually
stereotyped as emotionally unstable.
• This is portraying females as a whole in a positive
light as I am paying attention to their more
stereotypical strengths as women.

4. Age
• The age of both main characters are in the late
teens, this is in the adolescence stage.
• I portray the teenagers differently.
– Myrtle is portrayed as a misunderstood person which
is one of the main stereotypes of a teenager.
– Myrtle’s twin, however, is portrayed as a trouble
maker which is also one of the main stereotypes of a
teenager.
• This is portraying teenagers as a whole as “bad
news”, this may intrigue an audience of a similar
age as it is seen as comical (taken in jest).

5. Class
• The class of both main characters are low-working
class.
• I portray the main characters as low working class by
dressing them in “high street” clothes and the places
that they visit (i.e. Dagenham (estates)). This is
stereotypical areas of a lower class person to visit or
live, it is also stereotypical of these areas to wear “high
street” clothes. I also portrayed them as trouble-
makers.
• This is portraying lower-class people in a negative light
as they are stereotypically seen as trouble-makers.
