How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our film focuses around a teenage boy and teenage girl. The two characters are related, however we have left the relationship between them upto the audiences imagination to create enigma. The film highlights the commitments between families, and the strong bonds that join them together. It also highlights the vulnerability of teenage girls and the predatory sexual desires of older men. It also shows that youths have positive qualities, and it doesn't focus on one negative stereotype of young people which is conventionally used in films - instead proving how strong, determined and loving some young people are today, and reflecting them in a good-light.
Middle aged men are represented quite negatively in the film as the main villain is approximately 40 years old, and acts like any other middle aged man. (with the exception of his evil, sadistic acts).
