Evaluation Question 2: Representation of Social Groups.

2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our thriller opening, there isn't much in terms of diversity, the three main characters are white, male teenagers. As well as them being from England. There is obviously a lack of diversity in race, gender and age here, meaning that our production can only represent that one group.

I believe that race and gender isn't too much of an issue/topic here. As the opening that we made shows nothing that is unusual or typical for the area we filmed in. Not that there is a racial or gender-related divide between the population, just that it is usual to see things as they are in the production.

Through the Glass, however, has a fair amount to talk about in concerns to age. Our three protagonists meet up in town and walk round together which is fairly normal for regular teenagers. However, they decide to go into an antique shop, which teenagers don't tend to do. This obviously subverts dominant ideologies about teenagers and how they like to go to places that would be considered fun or exciting.
