2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our AS portfolio production represents social groups, such as age, gender and social class. We wanted our character to represent the modern representation of masculinity. Our character needed to make the viewers on the edge of their seat. We did this by making the protagonist calm at the beginning like a normal day. Then he becomes lively when he finds out about the kidnapper.
After doing research on thrillers, we found that the best thrillers have protagonists aged less than 40 years of age. Our character is 18. because our character is this age it could put the usual audience off watching it. A prime example of this is 'Stormbreaker' 2006. I believe that people mainly adults would be less interested in watching this movie when they find out that the main character is meant to be aged 14. How ever the intention of 'Stormbreaker' was mainly aimed at younger people, whereas as our film is aimed at 16's and over.
Our media product represents your average 18 year old. for example here is two prime examples of clothing. on the right picture we can see the protagonist wearing a coat that is branded by Superdry - which perhaps represents the younger persons wear. Casual jeans and on the right picture you see his typical 18 year olds casual trainer. With the top Velcro not in its usual place. This is all part of the teenager fashion.
