question 2


  • The social group I have attracted is young adults aged 15 – 21. The way I have portrayed this is by using age and gender representations, e.g. in my film there are teenagers who act as gangsters and a lone younger boy who has to try and escape there clutches.

  • I have shown this through mise-en-scene, language, costume and camera angles. The way I have represented my social group through language is by using a mixture of slang and stereo typical chav language, e.g. swearing. This represents the social group because 15 – 21 year olds are fun and loud and are not as mature as people older that that, but all know about people like my characters so I wanted to portray this attitude in my OTS. I have represented my social group through costume as stereo typical chav clothes consist of hoodies, tracksuit bottoms and bandanas.

  • This social group cares about their appearance and how everyone perceives them so I wanted to portray a teenage boy that they are like so they can connect with them. I used a boy that was in the same age as my social group/target audience so it represents them and clearly shows the OTS is directed at them. His clothes are similar to what my target audience wear so again it represents them. The props I used in my OTS were guns that are used by the gangsters. This represents the social group who are frowned upon but widens the range of audience to fit with people in that class or background. 

  • The low camera angles i used from the teenager perspective makes him look weak and unimportant. However as the OTS progresses you can see that the boy has wit and backup. He gradually gains power over the gang, however that is revealed over the course of the whole film. This will attract my target audience because they may aspire to be like him (Kenneth) and want to know more about him. 

  • The location I used was an abandoned barn near my house. This doesn't look very urban but particularly eerie. This will attract my audience because it is different. The use of font shows it is aimed at a young/middle aged social group because it is in bold capital letters making it look informal but serious at the same time.
