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

Our main task represents young adults and there jorney to the top; we have tried to convey to audieence of how hard it can be to become famous and to be recognised from typical teenager background.
We have shown our own representation of young adults who 'rap' and have therefore ensure the characters costume and appearence follows this. We tried to represent Tom Benson, played by Tom Speechley, as a lower class character, and have represented the character as a stereotypical young 'gangster', or often now depicted as a 'chav'.
In contrast we have represented Sam Carter, played by Sam Guy, in a higher social class, with a more branded appearence, wearing more distinct costumes, and this develops the whole objective of the project, showing the contrast in a 'rap star' at the bottom and also a fully established and famous rapstar.
