This document discusses how the media product represents gothic and introverted teenagers aged 15-17 who enjoy original horror. It implies suicide with a knife scene and references teenage confusion. It also touches on the sensitive topic of rape through newspaper clippings. The main inspirations are the film The Turn of the Screw for its narrative and black-and-white style. Stereotypical gender representations apply, depicting the young female protagonist as powerless and depressed while only mentioning her powerful father. The production aims to appeal to the "Emo demographic" of teenagers seeking a range of emotions.
