26. Ethical issues
• bad representation of teenagers from Wolverhampton and
Cannock
• My characters are stereotyped
• also the actors in my movie are Wight British
• UK is basically a malty cultured Country this may cause some
conflicts between the races
• no bad or good things that stand out to offend the two towns
• People who live in the north or south or Wales, Scotland or
Ireland might not understand the ascent
• There will have some Wolverhampton old quotes to remind
the audience that they come from Wolverhampton
