age

Media essay
The clip reinforces the stereotype of age for the young adults because the young girl is being rebellious and is acting recklessly the mature adult is very sensible so he reinforces his stereotype but the old people challenge theirs because the stereotype for an old person is that they are stuck at home all day on their own but in this clip they are all together working.

Where the clip is set you know that it's a adult area because it's in the countryside and that's a very traditional masculine place, the young girl challenges and reinforces her stereotype because all though she is acting reckless about her relationship she isn't out at a party doing drugs with her friends. Where she lives it shows that she must challenge her stereotype.

The young boy challenges his stereotype of age because he is out doing the same thing as the older men and not acting reckless he is acting mature and working instead of being out doing reckless things, the music in the clip so very slow and old to show that it is populated by old people.

There is a lot of close ups to the young girls face to show her youth and she is the only one wearing a different type of costume everyone else is working dull and boring work clothes but she is dressed like a child. but they also do a close up the old man in the car which challenges his stereotype because old people are meant to be in a long shot.
