Evaluation Question 2
Question 2
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Dylan Pines is a hard working man conforming to the typical males representation. Being a male, I am able to understand the pressure a man is put under to provide and also maintain his finance etc regardless of his past or education. The stigma of having gone through this pressure in which doubts his manlihood, only leaves him with one choice, which is to do anything to not only only maintain his finances but mainly maintain his manlihood. As the character is a 19 year old boy, we believed that it was necessary to still associate him with drugs (stereotypically speaking).
Treatment by Michael
Dylan Pines walks through a park, amazed by his surroundings with mid shots. He never has a chance to stroll through the park as he's always busy working at numerous places. He then jumps on a bus back to work. Dylan's been struggling in life, which is why the close ups show him stacking shelves in a library, sorting out products in a corner-shop and a close up changing to a low-angle shot of him helping clean in a school. Through the voice-over Dylan is, more or less, depressed and ashamed of his current situation. This therefore leads to the park scene with two boys approaching Dylan on a bench. They see Dylan's head in his hands crying and ask if 'he wants to make some money?' This Is Dylan's only chance to make money without straining his back to work all day, so he takes the opportunity. He walks up to the drug dealer, gives the drug and collects his money. It ends with the voice-over stating that's 'it's just the beginning'. Could he change from a slave to society to a shame of society.
