How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My group and I agreed that we would make out media video a very stereotypical representation for British teenagers. Drink, Drugs, being rude and taking part in anti-social behaviour, etc. Although some teenagers do live this life style it’s a very small amount that do and this stereotype couldn’t be more wrong, but I believe this is the way most Brit teens would like this live and having fun opposed to spend their life doing school work and in competition for a job and university places. I believe the stereotype of teens applies more to children who have brought up by lower class families; again this is another way that this film breaks the stereotype, ad all these girls come from middle and higher class families, which would be shown later on in the film. Our film is based on one particular social group and we have tried to do everything we can to emphasis this social group, with the characters used, music played, costumes used and also the mise-en-scene that has been used, but we also used a variations of styles to represent the different types of cliques today, from chavs, to the indie kids but this just shows that they are all very similar despite the way they dress and there beliefs.
