QUESTION 2.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social group that my Opening Sequence has represented is teenagers. They have been represented by the location and the use of costume, the location of the park is Representative of teenagers as most teenagers hang out in the park with their friends. The use of costume shows that the characters are teenagers as they are both the girls are wearing leggings and the boy is wearing trendy trainers and jeans. The costume shows that they are young because if they were wearing smart clothes, the audience might think that the characters are older than they are supposed to be in the Opening Sequence. My Group decided that we wanted our social group to be teenagers as it would appeal to our target audience more and the opening sequence would make more sense to our target audience and it would appeal to them.
Our Opening Sequence wouldn't represent people in university as they are old enough to go clubbing and wouldn't necessarily go in to a park or forest. If we wanted our social group to be students at university we would have to change the costume, set and possibly the scenario.
