How does your product represent particular social groups?

 The particular social group that we were trying to represent in our movie were South London typical, street dwelling teenagers. The typical black youth which is portrayed in films and media as someone who is ussually part of a gang and gets into trouble mainly due to the poverty surrounding his poor area. It would have been better if we had included at least one white youth in our filming as it is not only black youths in South London but in this particular area the white people are a minority. If we were to include a white youth then we would have tried to give him an "Adam Deacon" type personality from Kidulthood as he represents the typical white chav very well.

In the two pictures above I took a picture of Michael. The top picture being his normal self where he looks like a typical teenager whose not agressive and if he were to approach you on the street you would not think twice to turn away. The second picture however shows Michael with a hood covering his face and having no glasses. This is the stereotypical hooded youth that we tried to create an image of. This would be the teenager that if you were to see on the street then you would automatically think he is up to no good or is assosiated with trouble. However later on in the film once we give Damien some dialogue the viewer would understand that Damien is not the typical youth because we were going to make his vocabulary quite sofisticated instead of having slang words in every sentence. This would mean he can relate to more than one particular group of teenagers.

The music was very important when producing as we would have had an extremely large choice of grime music to choose from however we would have needed something preferably with more minor chords to set the tone and slow paced as grime music has usually got more fast paced tunes than slow paced ones.

The reason we chose an instrumental rather than something with a person rapping over the song would have been because

1) it would have been harder to find something which had no copyright royalty over it

and

2) because many people have different tastes in types of music, and if we had something with lyrics then it may not have appealed to many peoples tastes so with this would be able to target a larger audience
