Archive footage evidence and screenshots
All our archive footage was filmed from a computer screen using a camera, tripod and microphone held towards the speaker.
High school musical:
For our archive footage we wanted to show how media can embed the idea that young people need to fit a certain stereotype in order to fit in and for society to work as a whole. In oder for society to work there must be a divide. In our opinion, High School Musical was a prime example of this. In particular the scene/song of 'Stick to the status quo'. This illuminates that people have to stick to a social group and should hide what makes them different. With this being a film aimed towards children. This idea is clearly embedded in them to think this way at a young age, meaning they will grow up with this idea that society must be put into groups and that they must fit in with them.

Mean
Girls:
Mean girls also enforces the rule of segregation of social groups. While also exaggerating stereotypes we are including within our documentary; in particular, the 'popular girls'. The film talks of these stereotypes negatively, with all social groups talking negatively about others. The film is extremely popular with our target audience and has a lot of success around the world. This means that its influence is extremely effective.

Glee:
However, we also wanted to argue an opposing view, by showing 'Glee' as an example as in this, the programme encourages the acceptance of groups and shows people should break away from conformity. Particularly shown through the relationship between Jake(Jock) and Marley(Geek), which influences the acceptance of each other.

Bratz The Movie:
We also thought of using footage from 'Bratz' as throughout the film there is a strong link to stereotyping and social grouping. The film encourages stereotypes until the end of the film where everyone conspires against them. This again, is a film aimed at young teenagers and so our target audience is hit by this film and so this film could have an impression on them.
