How does your media product reprusent particular social groups?
Our media sequence features two teenage girls walking home from a party, the characters shown in the sequence are around the same ages of our target audience. We feel this means the film would appear more to them.
The girls in our film, Anabelle and Lucy are dressed in fashionable clothing, we chose this costume especially to reprusent their social group. They are seen to be part of the 'popular girl' group, shown coming from a party -so they have lots of friends, therefore the audience sees them as socially desirable.
We also took into consideration the dialogue that the characters said, they were engaging in typical girly gossip about a couple back at the party in order to indicate that they are involved in others buisness like the 'popular girls' are usually associated with. We used two blonde actresses which is also common in most sterotypical horror movies made with teenagers in mind, we thought this was important sterotype to follow in order to appeal to the teenage girl audience.
Here you can see a scene shot from the huge movie Scream 4, although the movies are different in the enviroment, the characters are very simular in appearence for example; hair colour, how there is two of them, and they give of a 'popular' demeanour.
As well as the two main characters Anabelle and Lucy, there is the crazy woman. We wanted the woman to appear a little older than the victims. We didnt really base this character around any social group and this is because murders/crazy characters generally in horror films wouldn't usually have a social life as such. Our character does however show simularities to other creepy horror film characters.
