2) how does your media product represent particular social groups?
our media work has a target audience. it is meant to attract young adults and teenagers of both sexes.  In our media we challenged the stereotype between the black and white people because usually in all the movies you watch about sport, the black person is always the player while the white person is the coach training the black person to do sport. people may say that this is because in some african schools they cannot afford education so they fill up their time by doing sport and helping around doing chores this makes them more fit and they are more restless and do not have the best diet.
our movie concentrates on ethnicity because he is a white person but he is meant to be residing in an african country, usually in most cases it ia the other way round a lot of black people live in the european and american countries, the places which the white people dominate.
an example of a movie that the coach is white and the sports person is black is Remember The Titans
"Remember The Titans is an American sports film that was made in 2000 The film starts as a new coach of the Titans, a football team previously coached by the white Bill Yoast, begins coaching the team. The new coach, Herman Boone, is black, and his team is a mixture of black players and white players. The struggles that arise from the racial diversity are profound. Actor Will Patton portrays Bill Yoast, making a transition to help out Boone as an assistant coach"
