Representation

The main collective group that is being represented in my film is Teenage Males. More often than not, Male teens are represented in a very negative way. My teaser trailer could be seen as representing them in the same way, however it comes with a slight twist to conventional representation of male teens in film.

In a feature gangster film like kidulthood, teens are represented as a collective group that enjoy, violence, drugs and crime. However, in my trailer i have included the comedy element that will lead the audience to believe that these teens aren't truly this way and that because it's a kind of spoof, the crimes they are committing aren't as sinister or destructive.

I feel personally that this was a very important element to include in my film as i strongly disagree with the way that teens are constantly represented in the media, especially in film.
