What Social Groups are represented
in my media product?
By Daniel Porter-Alexander
• The social groups that are represented are teenagers who are very outgoing
and like an action thriller and I've shown the representations of one of the
genders through my characters where males ( the only gender to feature in
my film) are shown as quite crazy and also dangerous at times.
• The main character in my film has been portrayed in a negative way and this
is through him carrying a knife and this is some what stereotypical of some
black boys who are in their teens. Overall my media product presents the
group of black boys as quite aggressive , crazy and dangerous and this is
through the actions of the main character throughout the film.
