Question 2




Both images are similar because they are close-ups of the two characters. They are both the stars of their own movies, they also represent the same social group; both are male who are roughly 16-19 years old, white with dark hair and are both typical looking teenage boys who are from middle class backgrounds. Although they are establishing their facial expressions; Toms face seems to be looking into the camera as though he is not afraid of what's going to happen whereas Shia is looking away from the camera because he is to scared of what he might see.  The lighting in both images are different, one shows it to be very bright and almost colourful however the other image is dull and we can guess that it using only light from which the torch gives off. They have similar hair styles ; dark and longish. Overall I think that both images show us a normal representation of the social group however I feel that they are represented in stereotypical way as well; the classic teenage boy gets up to mischief and finds himself in a trick situation that he cant get out of. Shia and Toms appearance is also stereotypical  in a sense that when we think of teenage boys they are what would automatically come to our head.
