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

The social group that I have chosen to represent is young adults, over the age of 18. I have chosen to represent this particular group because I feel that young adults have been very negatively stereotyped within the media as being criminals. I have created Charles' character based on an extremely over-exaggerated young adult, male stereotype to show that negative stereotypes can in fact provoke negative behaviour.
I have targeted the young adult social group by using modern technology (mobile phone) and communicating via that.


This is an image taken from the film Hackers. As you can see by comparing the two images, above and below, the costume is the same for both social groups, the female being in smart formal clothes, and the males being in more slightly relaxed causal attire.
