How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social group that is most depicted in the opening of my film is that of the male lower class citizens. Due to the fact that all three characters are wearing "hoody's" it strongly suggests they are perhaps part of the bottom end of social groups as regards to status. Although this may be the case, there aren't any suggestions towards this in the film for the two teenage boys.

The other character featuring in the film is definitely seen as a bottom class citizen involved with crime, particularly violence. Also wearing a hoody, this character has definite connotations of a criminal or hardened person.

There is a fourth character in my film, this being the alternate personality of the murderer/hooded criminal. This character as seen in the picture below seems to be an innocent middle class male. This can be seen by the sequence within the house. He owns a dog suggesting he can afford extra expenses. Also, in the few seconds whilst putting his trainers on, we see a pair of neatly polished shoes also suggesting he may have an important or at least well payed day job.

The representation of age is dominant towards a middle-aged male. Although outnumbered by the two teenagers, the gun wielding schizophrenic character is the one with the more powerful position. As well as the following scene with the same man (different mental character) my film is swayed towards the older male figure.
