2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The opening sequence of Evasion presents 5 young men, 4 of which are criminals and they are chasing the man-on-the-run. As seen in the sequence all the men show that they are athletic and due to the clothing, choice of car and type of mobile phone the men can be seen as middle class. Although there is not a wide range of gender or age, there a large difference in ethnicities such as Pakistani, Jamaican, English and Indian.
Due to the social groups and the choice of clothing and actions this adds to the realism of the sequence as the characters can be stereotyped as "troublesome teenagers". Also different aspects such as the actions of the Boss, the use of a gun and the intentions of the criminals all add to the image of typical teenage males in the UK. This can be directed at our target audience which also contains young teenage males, it can show them the consequences of doing the actions that they see on screen and help show them that this type of behaviour is wrong.
