1. How does your media product represent particular social groups? Calum Stone

2. Age Representation As we intended our film to be aimed at people in their late teens and early twenties, the few characters are of that age. To show this, the two characters at the end follow the stereotype of British teenagers, including colloquial language, smoking, and in a sense, irresponsibleness.

3. Gender Representation As there are few characters in our film, its difficult to go into extreme detail about gender representation. However, there is a comparison between the two male teenage characters near the end of the film. The viewer can assume the first one to go through the door is the ‘leader’ of the two. To show this, we made him seem a lot more fearless and bolder than the other character by him walking into the house first and joking about the threat possibly in the house. The other character we made to be almost the complete opposite of his friend. We made him seem timid by him speaking quietly having a scared look on his face. This is also expressed at the end of the film where he walks out of the room due to fear.

4. We decided to challenge a convention of horror by having a male as the main character. However, we also decided to challenge the male representation of being a lot more fearless and such and ‘manly’. We did this by filming a lot of shots with him running and screaming from something unknown to the viewer.
