1. How does your media product represent
particular social groups?
EVALUATION Q2

2. The protagonist "Laura Golding" is a
reflection of an average teenage girl. The
shot showing Laura in the mirror adds to
the stalker element as we rarely see from
her point of view. The protagonist
represents the girl next door.. I compared
our protagonist with with other characters
who i felt like she was similar to.
PROTAGONIST
Firstly I compared her to a character very similar to her...
Alison from Pretty little liar, she is the girl next door who
is stalked by a bully - They are both in similar situations
and are around the same age
The character Laura conforms to stereotypes of the girl
next door – She care about her appearance as she is seen
brushing her and has make up box in her bedroom
Even by her body language she comes across as sweet and
maybe shy.

3. The Other character I compared her to was
one of the female protagonist from Teen
wolf – Lydia. Teen wolf in its self has a
thriller type theme which I felt could really
link the two.
they both have similar costumes, they are
both in dangerous situations but are not
always brave, again conforming to
stereotypes by making the girl the weaker
but pretty ones.
PROTAGONIST

4. "Unknown" makes the genre clear as its the
introduction of the villain causing instant
tension.
the audience watches from the point of view
of the villain. This make the audience feel
nervous for our protagonist who is being
watched.
ANTAGONIST
I compare our character to again one from
pretty little liars I chose the stalker character
because of the similarities. Costume the black
hoodie gives off the sense of danger they
bring when in a scene. The Black hood is
useful as their faces are not shown creating
mystery and intrigue.

5. The character also conforms to stereotypes as
just in the match on action, When the door is
opened a sense of enigma is created through the
opening of the door representing the troubled
teen that we wanted the audience to get a
glimpse of.
ANTAGONIST

6. Mise-en-scene
Setting : Girls bedroom is light purple it
create a girly atmosphere, a typical girls
room shown the makeup box that is set up
next to phone to really emphasise it.
High street representing time period
which is modern day.
Costume: Guy - Black hoodie representing
male - hood up represents mystery of not
knowing who is under the hood
Girl - Mostly black with white fashionable
shirt represent typical teenage girl
no one is wearing any bright colours as
that would subvert the genre which is why
everyone is wearing dark clothes to
conform to the thriller genre.
MISE-EN-SCENE AND CAMERA
Camera
Slow pan across pictures builds tension right
before meeting the antagonist
Extreme close up on girls face adds to mystery
always making sure that the camera was behind
the hooded figure so that the question will
continuously be "who is he?"
Long shot and shot were objects are place in
front e.g. branches emphasizes the stalker
element of the film

7. Sound
very little dialogue is used as it adds
to the intrigue of the opening and
doesn't giving anything away
non diegetic sound is used for the
majority of the opening, the
soundtrack is eerie but not to creepy
as we really didn't want to make it
seem as if it was a horror film. the
soundtrack later on becomes louder
as the opening add to build tension
SOUND AND EDITING
Editing
Dissolving – as she walks down a long road
her. The dissolve edit shows that time is
passing implying that she has been watched
for a long time
Match-On-Action – Creating enigma when
antagonist leaves shed.
Continuity editing – is shown throughout
the opening, adding a sense of realism to
the opening.
Cutting we used a lot right at the start
between the two characters at the same
time.
