How does your media product represent

particular social groups?

My media product represent the teenage group. You can see in the video and from all the props and stuff you’ll get o know that what kind of group have I targeted. Social group were represented in a variety of ways, using a combination of editing, mise en scene, sound and camera shots and angles.

In my opening sequence I have casted a teenage boy who lives alone and is very lazy. He has to wake up for school in the morning and takes a lot of time, closes his alarm and sleeps again. He takes so much time doing all this that makes him late for school and he misses it. It is his everyday routine.

I have used a very untidy room for my shooting in which there are clothes all around , there is a lot of stuff lying around , the room isn’t clean and this gives the audience an idea about the film and what’re they going to watch.

I have used a young boy as my cast which shows and gives a clear idea that it is targeting the youth

I have used a variety of different camera shots/ angles, however I feel that the most successful shots were where the young boy dominated the screen, as the audience were able to connect with the boy's character . I also used some shaky shots. The shots I used included

• Establishing Shot• Mid shot• Low angle shot• High angle shot• Close up • Extreme close up• Full shot

Screenshots of the camera angle and techniques used in my video

High angle shot.

Close up

There was slow background music till the end. I used a guitar tune as my background music which targets the teenagers and they like that kind of music. I tried to target a group of teenagers from my background music too.
