How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our movie we have a set of particular social groups to engage an audience similar to the social groups of the actors. Likewise we have picked a specific social group of 2 friends that are extremely close, this therefore attracts an audience of the similar friendships groups as they can relate to this social group.

In our film we have chosen a specific relationship of two teenaged boys that are best friends. This type of social group has been influenced by the movie ‘don’t hang up’ in which the social group of two teenagers that are best friends engages an audience similar to the type of actors in the movie. Therefore in this case our audience will engage an audience of teenaged boys due to them being able to relate to the people in the movie.

In our movie we have specific similarities and differences to the movie ‘don’t hang up’ to create the same sort of atmosphere, using the best aspects of characters and not using the bad aspects that we do not want to see in our movie.

Firstly we have similarities of the same appearances as we have two decent looking boys in both movie, in which this will engage the audience to draw a connection to the boys due to their appearance. Likewise we also had a similar dress sense to the movie ‘don’t hang up’ in the sense that our dress sense was causal teenaged boys clothing allowing the audience to feel comfortable watching these actors as they feel like they are the same social group as them. Another similarity was the roles they both played as they are best mates that get along well and have a genuine close relationship.

On the other hand we had one difference to the movie ‘don’t hang up’ in the roles they played because one of the actors in the movie ‘don’t hang up’ went against his friend in the movie forming there to be hatred between the two, therefore we didn’t use this as we want our audience to really feel a connection with our actors and not feel hatred towards either of them.
