The document summarizes how social groups are represented in a media product. It represents four teenagers as gang members, perpetuating the stereotype of teenagers as troublemakers. The main character is portrayed as misunderstood and betrayed. A mafia boss character commands others but does not get physically involved himself, resembling the Godfather. Stereotypical styles of dress are used to represent the typical gangster in a black hoodie and the mafia boss in a charcoal suit.

• My characters was represented as four teenagers and one mafia boss who runs
them all. The four teenagers are involved in gangs. It’s a negative representation but
it’s the social norm as how teenagers are represented in the media as gang
members. This is a stereotype created by media and shows teenagers as thugs that
are always up to trouble and I try and represent this in my opening as the main
character is someone who is misunderstood and for that reason he is in trouble.

3. • I tried to create the next Jason Statham as my character is like him from the Parker
because he is betrayed by the people he works for because they create a massive
lie to be the reality and my character is a misunderstood person trying to get back at
the people which made it look like he snitched.
• The main character was dressed with a black hoody and jeans which is normal for a
teenager and the black hoody is typical to the way normal gangsters get dressed.
Another stereotype was that my character lacked sympathy and as soon as he was
confronted he pulled his gun out and shot the other character.

4. The boss we created was someone who like Godfather in the movie doesn’t do anything physical and
he runs things. The boss commands someone to go and get the snitch but he physically doesn’t do
anything he just gives money for equipment. The Boss wore a charcoal suit with a black shirt and
black leather gloves we tried setting up the image of a mafia boss with this look.
