2.How our media product represent particular social groups

Social groups we have used in our Media product are both teenage boys and girls. The stereotypes used within the sequence are the way in how young teenage boys and girls are a target by adults in the way boys and girls are believed to act. 
 The teenage youths shown in the clip are illustrated as young people who smoke and drink intending to be “cool.” The common stereotypes seen in today’s generation is the way “cool” youths take advantage of supremacy and bully those who are less trendy and able than them. This is a common masculine stereotype which is seen in the clip. 

 

However, Eric challenges these stereotypes because he’s young and doesn’t smoke or drink, but still being trendy and fashionable he is the victim of bullying.

  We also see the way the girls are very giggly and are influenced by the guys. The girls also seem to have an interest in impressing the boys. 

 

There are no adults in the scene because the clip is mainly trying to appeal to teenagers. Unique attitude and the use of props, for example the cigarettes and alcohol bottles within the scene illustrates the different, young and conventional attitudes we are depicting to those watching the clip.

 

Eric is a positive stereotype as he is young and responsible; however Drake is a negative stereotype because he plays the role in peer-pressuring Eric.
