Evaluation Question 2
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
"My media product represents particular social groups because the two protaganists are part of contrasting groups.
The main character Jess is part of the three mischevious girls who represent stereotypical rebelious teenage girls through their actions, words and costume.The three girls appeared rude with their nasty comments towards Kyra and their aggressive attitude. As directors, we ensured that the costume was correct, we used trainers instead of school shoes and exaggerated the short length of the ties and used appropriate hairstyles and accessories. The girls were also talking using slang terms which is what sterotypical teenagers now do so this created a sense of realism.
The timid nerdy girl, is completely different to the mischevious girls. The contrast is shown when they cross each others paths, she is timid, hardworking and compliant. Kyra is carrying her school books which we did to show that she works hard, we also used costume in order for us to emphasise the social group that she is from. Kyra was dressed in her school uniform with a long tie and a shirt buttoned up to the top.
We developed our ideas from our previous research of similar films including kidulthood which is also based around school children, we were able to get a sense of how the characters should be represented through research"
