Question 2 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our chosen social group to represent is young adults. We chose this particular social group as we feel they have been portrayed in a bad light within the media. We have created our character on a exaggerated stereotypical young adult to show that negative stereotypes can in fact provoke negative behavior.

We have targeted the social group by using the mobile phone and portraying our information via text message. The audience will relate to the use of technology as it is now plays a big role in everyday life world wide. Also we used the mobile as young adults may have more confidence talking over the internet on social messaging sites and through texts. 

I have used mise-en-scene to represent this, by located the main part of the deal in an isolated park. This is the type of place a stereotypical drug dealer and also young adults would find a place to call there own and hang out. A place where no one else goes, a place they can call there own. Also the tree's create mysterious shadows on the floor which prominent in crime genre. 

A representation in the media, which is similar to our film is called; Hackers. This film is also based on the crime genre with a sub-genre of mystery. As you can see from the screen shots of both films there is a similar dress sense for the characters. In both films they are wearing very formal clothing which makes them look more professional.
