Young men (around the late teens and early 20's) are usually stereotyped as being independent, maybe a bit stupid (not thinking about things before they do) and risk taking, this is shown through his:
Costume- he is wearing his race jumpsuit and his whole race gear, this shows that he is a risk taker and also very independent for his age as he is still young yet he is already racing professionally this shows the independence, yet the actual fact that he is racing shows the risky side of his youthful age.
Props- his props are basically only his race car, this shows Independence as he must maintain the car at a young age meaning he must have another job, the car in its self being a fast car and the race is already dangerous this shows his risk taking but also that hes still maybe a bit childish and a bit stupid as he is racing a fast car against other fast cars on a track at a young age before he has had a chance to live his life.
Older men (middle aged) are represented as being independent, more able and more sensible, this is shown through his:
Costume- he is wearing a very stereotypical outfit of an older male, which includes a formal shirt, trilby hat, trench coat and boots this enthisises his age and also the stereotypes that his age comes with.
props- his prop actual subverts the stereotypes of his age and ability, he has a walking stick, this is usually shown with disabled and/or elderly members of the public. This prop defiantly subverts the traits his age and ability should show, this is what we where trying to portray- a middle aged man with a disability due to racing.
