The document analyzes and evaluates a media product that represents teenage characters. It compares the protagonist "Laura Golding", a typical teenage girl, to characters from other shows like Pretty Little Liars who are stalked. The antagonist, referred to as "Unknown", is analyzed as well and compared to stalker characters who wear dark hoodies. Details are provided about the mise-en-scene including the girl's bedroom setting, costumes like the guy's black hoodie, and how colors were used. Camera techniques, sound, and editing choices are also discussed that build mystery, tension and don't reveal too much about the characters.

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 Other characters I compared her
to one female protagonist from Teen wolf –
Lydia.
Similar costume, same situation – in
danger, middle class

3. "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.
He represents a troubled teen because he has this
obsession with Laura.
ANTAGONIST
I compare our character to again one from pretty
little liars I chose the stalker character because of
the similarities, like the black hoodie, the sense
of danger they bring when in a scene, that their
faces are not shown creating mystery and
intrigue..... this allows there to be a big reveal of
the character later on.

4. 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

5. 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 – was successful as our
protagonist went through the door
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.
