How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Appearance
Both characters are similar in terms of appearance, they are both about the same age (8) and their appearance is similar due to clothing. They are different gender which is one of the only significant differences.

Costume
Their costumes are the same in terms of time setting and clothing. They are both in old clothing and I have considered Mise En Scene in my opening and have dressed my character in what i believe was the correct clothing for the time setting. My character's costume is in black and white, and the young boys in is colour in this film, but they share the same idea and principle about olden day clothing.

Role in film
both the characters role in the films are almost exactly the same. They are a child in a time when there is massive conflict and war happening - and the film is from a child's point of view. I think this is the best example in terms of similar characters for this aspect of the role in the film. The young protagonists both look up to their father in my film and 'The boy in striped pyjamas' and this is also a very good similarity.
