Evaluation Question 2:

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
There is little recognition for social groups as each character is alone and seems rather isolated with no verbal communication. However the criminal characters are shown to be secretive with their costume hinting at attempts to remain inconspicuous throughout the meeting.



The victim, although masked by the cloth over his head, can be seen to be wearing a thick woollen sweater, blue jeans and Nike trainers.


This could possibly make the audience see him as an average middle to working class teenager. People with a lower income may be expected to have older, more out of date clothing.
The middle to working class teens of England are often seen to be a majority. This would hopefully help the audience to feel close to the victim.
With having a teenager being the victim, it is very different to the role of teenagers, in the majority of news reports; where they are usually the antagonist.


Camerawork such as the low angle shot, giving the point of view of the victim, from the boot of the vehicle towards the antagonist. This shows the victims vulnerability and mirrors the stereotypical, uneven balance of power between the criminal and the victim.
