Throughout our film, we placed heavy emphasis on the 'nerd' stereotype in society. Many people believe that nerds wear glasses, have braces and love sci-fi, much like this 'nerd':
We aim to play off these stereotypes, and we feel like we did this effectively. With the use of Mise-en-Scene, we showed early on that these characters were nerds, through the use of such shirts as:
Jake and his Assassins Creed shirt
Luis with his Star Trek shirt, George and his "I scored with the Princess" shirt and Sean with his Nerd shirt
The use of mainstream video games, such as Minecraft and Call of Duty, we also portrayed the young male demographic. Nowadays main young males, between the ages of 15 and 25, play video games. This is because ratings of games can go up to +18, so many young adults are still encouraged to play video games.
