Representation refers to the construction in any medium of aspects of reality such as people, places, objects, events, cultural identities and other concepts.
Representation looks at four particular influences : Class, Age, Gender and Ethnicity.
The Inbetweeners Movie is aimed at the audience age of 15+. It has sexual references in it yet is comedic for the reasons of it being aimed at this particular age group. I believe that this movie represents young boys, going on holiday just to have fun. It seems as if they have represented teenage boys in a negative light because of the way they act sexually and just drink beverages of alcohol. However the movie just conveys teenage social groups like this due to the genre.
In our opening the representation of social groups we looked at was Gender and Age.
The villian in our opening is a teenage girl who is wearing uniform with a gas mask. We've simply decided for her to wear uniform as we believe it connotes an innocent young girl however she is the complete opposite. We wanted a WW2 theme with the gas mask yet the concept did not match as we didn't follow our storyboard. We simply used the gasmask for effect to make it seem interesting and to give it a spooky atmosphere. Furthermore it is abnormal to see someone in society with a gas mask. In addition we normally would not see a female character to be the villian. Again this makes our opening unique and catching to our audience.
Myself, the victim is a normal girl. We've decided for me to wear casual clothing (denim top, black trousers, white trainers and a bag) to show that its a casual day and nothing unusual is suspected. Its quite common for a female to be a victim as most of the time we are seen quite vunerable.
