How does my opening sequence represent particular social groups?


On the left is a character from our opening sequence who's name is Tom. He's a sixth former and doesn't care about his school life at all. This is apparent through how scruffy his uniform is and how unenthusiastic he looks after helping obey the rules. He is not the main focus of the film and he is considered the "Side-kick" of the film. He is friends with Alex, who is super enthusiastic about his role as the "Hall Monitor" and often annoys Tom with how much he cares. He is shown to be depressed and annoyed.

And on the right is Simon from the movie, he is also a sixth former who doesn't care much about school and is often depressed and grumpy. Like Tom, Simon isn't the main focus of the  Inbetweeners movie and the main character is Will who is enthusiastic to his school work.

Both Tom and Simon are a typical look of teenagers in film, they are usually shown to not care much about school/work and are usually grumpy at everything. We decided to have a character like this in our film as he is completely opposite to the main character of the film and works well off of him.

One difference between the two characters is that Tom Doesn't care about his appearance, this is apparent as his hair is very long and messy. Whilst Simons is short and gelled up. This is a way we broke away from typical conventions of teenagers as they are often shown to care about their appearance.
