The document discusses how a media product represents teenagers aged 15-18. It describes portraying the characters in stereotypical druggie clothing like tracksuits and baggy clothes. Props like a bike and phone were included to appeal to teenagers. The opening sequence represents the teenagers quite negatively - the first character is cutting wood at home, possibly expelled from school, and the second meets a drug dealer after school, portraying only the bad side of teenagers and reinforcing social stereotypes.

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

2. The main social group of our film is
teenagers aged 15-18. This is because a
lot of teenagers around this age use
drugs and it can affect their life and
relationships. We have made the
characters appear in the stereotypical
‘druggie’ look which is tracksuit,
hoodsand baggy clothing. We also
included props in our opening sequence
like a bike which fits our social group as
many late teenagers are sporty and
active. Another prop we used was a
phone which is used by most if not all
teenagers to contact friends and go on
social media, this appeals to teenagers
rather than older people as they have
work and may just be outdated to use a
new piece of tech

3. In our opening sequence, we represent the
teenagers as quite bad people, there are
many different clues as to why this is.
Firstly, the first character we see is at
home cutting wood, this may indicate that
he has been expelled from school or
something like that as he looks about
16/17, at this age you are required to be in
school. Another indicator is that the
second character goes to school and when
he has finished his work, he meets a drug
dealer. There are many views on teenager
from society that we are bad, dangerous
people. I think our film only shows the
bad side of teenagers.
