Evaluation Question 2
In what ways your media product represent particular social groups?
We wanted to represent JJ in a particular way. We had Three foundations to help us represent him in this way; Mise en scene/ Costume (the way he is dressed) Regional Identity and Dialogue.
For JJ's costume/ the way he dressed, we decided he would wear a dark clothing. We used a dark jacket, trousers and adidas shoes, a popular teenage shoe brand. Teenagers are stereotyped as being reckless rebellious and mischievous. We decided to fit JJ into this stereotype because it would relate to many young adult of his age. JJs southern English reveals his regional identity. Southern England is seen to be quite a metropolitan and modern place to leave. The fact that he is wearing he is wearing clothes of this generation and clothes seen to have an urban factor to it emphasizes that he is part of a modern society. The fact that he wakes up in a field shows that he is a long way from home. His regional identity doesn't fit the ambience of a seaside town. The dialogue he uses to talk to his drug dealer emphasizes that he is also part of drug culture.
