How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups:
There are several similarities that are obvious to the viewer between the character in my piece, and Alex, in the film 'Thrashin'. Both characters are young males, who are escaping from their homes, after waking up. Both characters also have been dreaming, however, whilst one is dreaming of skateboarding, the boy in my piece is having a nightmare of what could prevent him from skateboarding.
Their apparels are different as well. The boy in my piece is wearing a pair of shorts and a shirt, whilst the boy in 'Thrashin' is wearing jeans and a long sleeved shirt.
In this sense, my character does fulfill conventional gender and age roles for a young male, however, it also portrays differing messages as well.
