PART 5 – How does your media product represent particular social groups?
In our title sequence, we wanted to portray the image of a stereotypical young boy. We showed him dropping off his school bag, and going to get a drink from the fridge. This shows a typical routine of what he does after school, which is similar to that of most young boys. We showed the stereotype of a young boy also through his body language. His shoulders were relaxed, his arms hanging and his posture slumped. This can be seen as a general posture that most boys, of any age, hold. We chose not to go against stereotypes, because we wanted our character to seem like an average young boy, one you wouldn't expect to be capable of the bad things that happen in our film. Also, this allows the audience to sympathise with him, because he is just like one of them, he is on their level.
