A social group I believe to be apparent in 'Aftermath' is the emotionally unstable, more commonly known in today's society as "Emo". The stereotype normally refers to people who have a negative perspective of the world and coincidently it is often found that they declare their unsettling hatred through the usage of video. These characteristics of the 'Emo' stereotype can be seen through Seb's performance, depicting some emotional instability through his depressed facial expressions, and through the dialogue of his video confession, fundamentally establishing the character's perspective as negative.Ultimately, we tried to represent Alex (played by Seb) as frustrated, disturbed and bordering on being mentally insane. Simialar to what Jack Nicholson is doing in the image above, of 'One flew over the Chuckoo's nest', we had Seb look directly into the camera for the majority of the screen time in order to intimadate the audience, making them believe his anger and frustration of the world is sincere and will be acted upon.
