How does your media product represent particular social groups?
This shot shows our victim, she fits the social group of a teenager as we see her doing her hair and makeup in her bedroom which is dimly lit. This shows that like most female teenagers she cares about how she looks and how she is dressed and the makeup she is weaing suggests she is going to a halloween party.
During the movie she is looking for her mum but she becomes easily distracted by wanting to listen to music so she goes and finds her ipod, how easily she becomes distracted could fit the stereotype for most teenagers.
Her putting on her halloween makeup shows she must be going out to a halloween part and this represents a typicalteenagers lifestyle.
This shot shows our villain who is after our victim. It suits the typical stereotype of a villain as it is masked so we can not see his facial features and we can't tell who he is.
He also fits the social group of a male because of the way he is dressed, the apron and baggy clothes suggest he could be some sort of butcher and we usually associate butchers with men. His temprement also suggests he fits the male stereotype as he is violent and he also has the strength to swing a bat at his victim and drag her to an unknown room. Suggesting to us he is more likey to be a female then a man even though we can not see his facial features.
