Question 2 - How does it represent social groups?

The social groups present are young black males, gamers, .
In our film we represent young black males as productive which is demonstrated by how we've shot the sequence as if he is shooting a hero movie, the dialogue he speaks in the first 5 seconds supports this; "Okay... superhero monologue, let's go!". The audience can also see him as enthusiastic because he sounds quite motivated to record this 'superhero monologue'.




Young black people in all forms of media that I've seen are either ghetto stereotypes or a companion to the main character with a charismatic personality.
For example James from Ride Along with his bad boy attitude and Rhodey from Iron Man 2 being Tony Starks best friend and sidekick.

But we've made our character look like a sort of nerdy film geek or YouTuber who is taking the lead in this production.

The main character s also a gamer as you can se from this point in the film.

This film represents gamers as nerdy and creative, because the main character has created this low budget costume out of regular clothes and is trying to utilise generic tropes from his favourite superhero films. They could also be construed as resourceful, again because of his home-made costume.
