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

We designed our characters from research of different teen angst films. We based our characters from different social groups in society. For example, Aiden and Tom are popular and care about their appearance and popularity status. This is contrasted by Kate and Jessica who are unpopular and wears basic casual clothing. Therefore, both genders are represented. This clear divide shows very different social groups.

Kate's clothing is basic and casual. This portrays her personality to the audience. From research we want to based Kate off 'Bella' from 'Twilight'. Bella is unpopular with her small group of friends, she wears casual clothing such as jeans and a hoodie, this emphasises her personality as she doesn't want to stand out.  






We want the friendship between Jessica and Kate to be like the friendship between 'Georgia' and 'Jaz' from 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging', unbreakable. We wanted them to have very similar clothing casual) and this will show the audience that they also have very similar personalities.  
 

 

We based the character of Aiden of 'Mike' in '17 Again'. From our research we found out this is the only other teen angst film that has a male protagonist. 'Mike' wears casual clothing, jeans and a leather jacket. Therefore, we put 'Aiden' in jeans and a hoodie, as a hoodie shows he is more sporty, hence the football scene. However, both character have cool style and this represents their popularity.
