Our product represents the social groups of teenagers, geeks and nerds.
Typically teenagers are portrayed in a negative light with common stereotypes being that they are lazy, rebellious, antisocial, rude or disrespectful. In UFO we have challenged his representation by showing our main character to be adventurous, intelligent, sociable and passionate about what he loves. In some ways our protagonist could be seen as antisocial, given that he spends a lot of time alone in his garage turned den, but this is out of determination to alien hunting, rather than wanting to be alone.
Although we mainly challenged the representation of teenagers, our protagonist conforms to many of the stereotypes of a geek or nerd. They are often seen to be intelligent, with a particular interest in maths or science; fans or Star Wars and Doctor Who; and technologically minded- all of which are displayed through our opening.
Our unique way of presenting our titles represents how our character could be seen as 'different' from other teenagers; something that was picked up on by a member of the audience at the showcase evening, who's feedback mentioned how the "creative ways of introducing names fit the whole nerdy style".
