How does
your media product represent particular social groups?
Our media product is based on a boy who wants to plot
revenge on a group of friends that once bullied him for his physical
differences. This is a teenage stereotypical social group that follow the
crowds and are careless towards other people’s feelings. The group is not seen
during the opening sequence but the audience is aware that there are two friends texting one another. Only one bully and the victim are seen. The original victim becomes the bully who is slowly but surely getting his
revenge on the group of friends that are now changed people. The group of
friends is made stereotypical by the way they have all teamed up to offend
somebody. Teenagers fit the story line of needing somewhere for a party as they
are unable to drink legally. We chose to aim the film at teens as they can
relate to the theme of bullying more than an adult.
We also show the social group of gender. This is seen as the
female character walks into her death. Here you see that the male is stronger
and in control which is stereotypical. The male being in charge is a classic
theme in many films.The female in the film is texting which shows technological social skills and may imply popularity.
