Representation

1) In the film poster, there are seven young people/teenagers (3 girls, 4 boys). They're dressed in hoodies/jeans and are placed in an urban setting. The picture is quite dark and one of the boys is holding a baseball bat.
2) The producers have stereotyped the teenagers as dangerous, arrogant and idle.
3) The  preferred reading is that these teenagers pose a threat to us, they seem to be staring into the camera in an intimidating way, as if challenging us.
4)The oppositional reading is that these kids aren't dangerous, they are just hanging out with their friends. They are potentially misunderstood and in need of adult guidance.
