2)How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My media product represents teenagers in a more extreme take on the dominant ideology.The dominant ideology is that teens are violent and often involved in gun crime. My film confirms this and expands on it to show an actual act of gun violence. This also therefore follows a stereotypical view of teens. As both of the characters are male this also follows a dominant representation, aswell as the ideology that males are more violent than females. The housing estate is typical of working class families.
The setting constructs a feeling of reality as there have been no special effects and it is set in an ordinary street which is similar to where the target audience may live.
