Evaluation Question 2

(Q2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media opening sequence is not represented in a traditional way, instead of having a typical strong male being the attacker, we decided on having string minded and willed woman to be the killer, this goes against stereo typical views and had the victim played by a boy. The women is represented as a mysterious women, to create the mystery around her we do not show her face and frame it so not much detail is revealed around her, she also wears dark coloured clothing as these are considered more negative and mysterious compared to any other colours.
Whilst the boy is shown as a typical teenager who has grown up in an urban area where they would be considered very rude with attitude problems and maybe someone that has no troubles in the world, this is a common view associated with teenagers so we have used this in our film so that it appears more realistic and relatable. These representations will prompt more questions about the girl being the killer as it is not seen that often in films, therefore something new. The males in this film, people will feel sorry for as they have been killed for no reason; which again is very unusual because the victim will normally have done something in their past which has lead to the murder of them.
