Representation Of Age

Thanks for Elisha and Tim acting.

During this lesson, we were discussing the representation of age in the media, and how we could use an older and a younger actor/actress to go against typical media conventions and create an atypical piece. So we came up with this, giving Tim the stereotype of a teenager in the sense of drug abuse, but gave the assumption to the audience that they did indeed belong to Elisha. The audience would think this straight away because of how teenagers are portrayed in modern day media eg. mainstream news.
The last scene was the confrontation, with both Elisha and Tim addressing the audience directly.
The planning, directing and filming of this short piece took that of a lesson (50 minutes).
