How does my product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues ?

In the first place, the film opening goes with the conventions of a "piece of life" movie using a relatively calm music in order to communicate to the audience the vibe that is meant to show.

The costumes were planned to represent as many social classes and sub-cultures as possible.

As for the mise-en-scene, all the characters are being shown all together on a SUNNY DAY, but after the scene in which the pictures of the characters are being shown (scene 2), they are shown under a different light in the DARK AT NIGHT, as they are somebody else, this leading the the representation of the social issues of people having "masks" in order to ignore or leave their personal problems aside when they are in a group or just generally in a social environment.

Teenagers being the group people that are most likely to suffer from these social issues mentioned above, due to constant personal research of identity and social integration, during the script righting process, they are the ones that came up to mind in the first place, although also being a subconscious and natural idea.

In order to have gender equality the number of characters was odd, so it would not be too complicated to split the number of people, also, in order to integrate racial variety, I decided to be an actor of my own work, due to the fact that in Romania, the racial diversity isn't that of a relevant thing.

As for the lighting, we used during the natural light during the day, but during the night, since it was too dark, we used the flashlight from the phone so the subject can stand out.
