Evaluation Question 2

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

Average everyday man, middle class guy, around the age of 40. He's just a nice guy living in a small village minding his own business.

A few chavs, around the age of 16/17, probably lower class boys out just trying to cause trouble and harm others that have done northing wrong.

The 40 year old man was presented in a positive way as he is just walking home whilst having a cigarette causing no harm to anyone until he runs into the group of chavs.

The chavs are presented in a negative way as there acting in a bad manner, they assault the old man which implies to the audience that they are horrible youths just out because there bored and trying to make trouble.

The social groups are represented in a stereotypical way as when seeing a man at the age of 40 years old you wouldn't expect him to go out and cause trouble which he doesn't in our opening scene but at the end of the scene there is an element of suspicion because of all the documents on the wall about the youths that assaulted him. The chavs are represented in an even more stereotypical way as all chavs you see are normally not very nice people, always out to cause trouble and harm the innocent just because they are bored. Our opening scene shows this happening exactly.
