The main area of representation featured in our trailer is that of youth. One section of youth representation, as suggested by Hebdige, suggests that youth are seen as possessing the dual identities of fun and trouble. This is evident in the plot of the overall film, as the group of teenagers are going on a road trip, which represents the fun side of youth. Afterwards, they could be considered to be causing trouble by trespassing into a stranger's house, even if they have a valid reason to do so.
Another idea of youth has been subverted in our production. The theory that youth are misportrayed because the producers are not youth, as suggested by Medhurst with the quote "they are awful because they are not like us", is not true for our production. As we would be classified as youth, we are able to portray youth more accurately and fairly than other producers do.
