How does your media represent particular social groups?

These are two main characters one form Rags to riches and the other from Adult Hood both with similar roles in their respective films. 

Both Adam Deacon and the main character form our film represent the London youth of today. Firstly, both characters are of a similar age group, this targets older teens as they can relate to this age group. Also the way that both characters are dressed resembles the stereotypical dress code London teens. Both Adam Deacon and the character from our film are dressed in casual clothing, round neck t-shirts, jeans and hats, all commonly worn by teenagers in London helping to target our film at London teens. However, in the second half of our film, the main character form our film breaks away form the stereotypical London dress code as we see him dressed in a formal manner wearing suit and holding a briefcase. 

Both the characters are motivated by money. This a common attitude among most teens and young adults in London as there is a perception that with money you will achieve power , success and respect. Throughout Adulthood and Rags to Riches both characters gain more power and more power as the story goes on. The only significant differences between our film and Adulthood in this respect is that our character is attempting to breakaway form life on the streets where Adam Deacon attempts to use his street credibility to his advantage. 

Another difference between our character and Adam Deacon is theAdam is a more common street gang member in London, dealing in small and petty crimes. We have attempted to avoid this and have tried to link our character with much more high profile crimes.
