Evaluation Question 2

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

Our media product represent a particular social groups by showing mis-en-scene that relates the character in the opening scene as well as matching the target audience. We use key props for both different characters showing binary opposition 

Binary Opposition ( Created on Animoto )

Our film opening scene focuses on young female teenagers aged 14 - 18.

The animoto shows the genre of the film, however it is an opening scene so it gives and idea of the film genre and the characters. However, the binary opposition in our film were stereotyping two * typical * teenagers that are completely different form each other shown in Animoto.

We stereotyped a 'Geek' teenager who is every intelligent and her passion  about her education  by showing key props such as, glasses as she can't see well without them, books to show her intelligence. 

On the other hand, we also stereotyped a 'Party' teeneger who doesn't take life seriously and who loves to go out at night and comes home in the morning where everyone is sleeping. 

We was inspired by skins opening scene in the

very first episode in skins. Effy, the party teenager in skin was the first character that was shown.

So we use a similar character relating to Effy in skins in our opening scene and the film.

This is the ' Party ' teenager in our film. We used key shots to show the similarty between this party teenager and Effy in skins. Make up would be a key props for party teenagers showing how they care about their appearance in parties. Also, how they come home after a party in the morning, sneaking into the house without making a noise 

This is ugly betty, which is a teen drama series.
Which was inspired with our 'geek' character in the film having a different personality compared to the teenager coming home in the morning or known as ' the party girl '

As you can see, we used key props like the glasses to represent her as a geek for the film.
