As our main storyline consisted of modern day chracters and is set in the streets of South London, two social groups are represented, teenagers and race. Use of attitude in dialogue suggested that teenagers today are often moody, stubborn and determined to get their own way. 
We used black cast as we were trying to develop a story around the life of a stereotypical black teenage girl living in the typical lifestyle. Use of dialogue emphasised the stereotypical speech of young black people such as slang, "choong", this also helped to show the typical attitudes black teenage girls have and how similar they are to many white teenagers living in this area. For example, "Rapunzelisha" refers to a boy called Dwayne as "choong" suggesting she thinks he's attractive, white teenagers in this area use this vocabulary and street language too, white girls like boys too and some are attracted to black boys aswell. This suggests black and white people don't have their individual dress codes or speech anymore, the generation we live in allows us to mix and talk how we wish and dress how we want. By using white characters at the beginning of the story, with neutral attitudes towards "Rapunzelisha", because the mother introduces the story of her to her child, the audience get the impression that black and white people may be segregated sometimes, but we are all people and everyone is accepted in the streets of South London, the area in which this film is set is very diverse. This indicates the message that other areas could follow this positive example.

We also represented social groups such as young children of today. For example, use of dialogue in the first scene included talk of electronics such as computers, "It's been ages sinse you've let me read you a story, you're always on your computer". This emphaised that it is typical of young people to spend alot of their spare time using techonogly. The way in which the mother said this, represented the way a stereotypical white mum in South London would speak. Being less well spoken as someone maybe living in Central London with alot more money, suggests that mums living in this area are less educated and working class.
