Image from ‘attack of the block’

The social group represented in this these shots are of working-class youth. These shot taken from my opening sequence show the stereotypical working-class through there appearance, and the area I filmed at – which is deprived and dominated by poverty and material deprivation.

Representation Of Gender in Social Groups

Images of male characters- men and boys dominant my opening sequence.

The representation of gender in social groups –as social realist films with crime and deviant themes are commonly dominated by male character- there shots show clip that I have taken of people in male groups, portraying the ‘laddish’ sub-culture of the working-class, which is highly associated with crime.

‘Kidult hood’ above is based around youth gangs in London also dominated by male characters
