How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media product represents two social groups in the form of both the protagonist and the antagonist. The obvious social groups would be that both are characters are depicted as being different ages. The protagonist wears a hoodie and is supposed to be in his late teens, whereas the antagonist wears a suit and this suggests that he is older than the protagonist. The protagonist is running from the antagonist and is living on the run, our opening occurring when the protagonist is finally found. The antagonist can also be seen as representing a businessman or someone higher up in society. The protagonist could be seen as slightly stereotypical due to the costume he wears.
