Our media product represents particular social groups.
The main one is 20-23 years old mixed race middle/upper-class metropolitan/afro-carribean.
According to their social status, most of the characters belong to quite the same social class: upper middle class. We guess by their manures, language and clothes that they belong to this high social community. We could probably qualify their familial background as posh.
The details of each character are:
ALIX - british - female - 21 years old - upper middle class - ethnic majority
PAUL - french/japanese - male - 20 years old - upper middle class - ethnic majority
HAMS - senegal - male - 23 years old - upper middle class - ethnic minority
JOE - british - male - 21 years old - middle class - ethnic majority
(Note: some ethnical backgrounds are considering as being the majority because the film takes place in Britain, that is why we consider Hams as belonging to an ethnic minority)
Characters' families do not appear in our media product (neither do they in the film). Young people are really together and do not receive ay advice from older people.
My media product itself represents particular social groups by the scenes themselves. In fact, I chose to film parts of the body, details in accessories or clothes, elements of nightclubs. These elements, in our opening sequence, do transcribe this milieu of gilded youth where money is not a problem, where these young adults have everything they want, have no limits fixed by their parents because they do not see them most of the time, so they have to find comfort in something else like riotous sexual life, use of drugs and alcohol...
The description made by my media product is then a sort of critical view on this part of the society who seems to be fulfilled, to have everything it could possibly want, but who is actually completely lost.
