Our products presents two different social groups: Teachers and Students (The killers identity is unknown).
Student-
The student in a stereotypical situation and what a lot of people have come to expect from pupils based on what is being covered by the media (News, TV Dramas etc) the student looks powerless when compared to the teacher instructing him to do his work, the student is also of black skin colour and that is a negative stereotype driven also by the media and are normally portrayed as having some form of gang affiliation for example the London riots in which it said that 75% of riots where of black skin colour, However the student is wearing glasses which subverts our expectation as someone who wears glasses in most commonly known as being a nerd or a geek who always does his work but in this opening clip the student wearing glasses and is in trouble which suggests that he had been misbehaving and the teacher saying "Finish off your work" shows that he did not do the work. The student is also male which is fairly playing up to the stereotype that boys are ones that cause trouble and are the ones that always misbehave and are lazy.
Teacher-
In contrast to the student the teacher is white which is stereotypical of having the higher classed jobs and are in higher powered status, He is also a teacher who are meant to have the most power in the classroom, which he does as he is the one giving the instructions as well leaving the classroom when his phone rings, He is a male which shows that males are dominant and better at being strict to the students.
