How does your media product

represent particular social

groups?
JAKE LUCKETT

Our product represents teenagers, to be typically rebellious and

to disobey parents or guardians.

We show the two main characters to be rebellious by them going

out of their way to go against what their parents wouldve told
them; dont do drugs, rob shops and so on.

These two acts in particular shows the characters being

rebellious at their best.

Our specific characters are shown to go to incredible lengths, just

to prove to friends and family that theyre the next level of
gangsters.

This is representing the youth of today to be typically immature

and irresponsible.

It shows some of todays teenagers or people of the youth;

wanting to be someone or something theyre not.

For example we see the two characters in suits and then later on
we see a scene of 100 dollar bills flying over our characters
giving them the view that they are Ballers (a slang term for
people of incredible wealth).

We can see these are fake bills and that this links into them
wanting and aspiring to be things theyre not much like many
youths of today.

The media product is also attempting to portray the view of some

social groups of todays teenagers aspiring to be Real Gangsters

Jamies mum who catches the boys with their lads mag shows
the typical parental discipline move and shouts at the boys
expecting them to know better. This is showing the audience that
she has the typical parental traits that an older person would say.

Sanjeev (the shop owner) shows traits of a typical shop owner as

the boys rob his shop as he runs out shouting I know your mum
in hope to threaten and scare the two characters.

Our media product hopes to play on this common stereotype, by

the two characters resorting to crimes such as robbing shops,
doing drugs and having money lavishly poured on them.

Having dollar bills poured on the two characters is purely a

fantasy that these characters have.
