Evaluation Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The main social groups that we are representing are age and gender. As our film idea is strongly focused on a few characters, we were limited with the social groups we could represent; the main protagonist, Grace, is a teenage girl and Ella, one of the other 3 characters, is also a teenage girl.

Through Grace and Ella especially, we were able to effectively represent teenage girls through conforming to, and in a few cases challenging common/typical stereotypes that the would audience would already have and expect. Things such as character dress, settings, dialogue and character behaviors also helped in the representation of age and gender.

(please see the table below for examples of this)
