Representation of Youths

A convention which we have developed in our trailer is the common representation of youths. In our trailer we have shown the boy with his hood up in the scenes when he is misbehaving, a common impression that all teenagers wear hoods and rebel. We have conformed to this stereotype in these scenes as it represents his behaviour and hides his identity while he is taking part in the antisocial activities, such as kicking over bins and throwing things. This convention can be seen in films such as Kidulthood and 8 mile.
