How does your media product represent particular social groups?

1. The opening of our horror film represents
overconfidence putting you through tough
situations -it's like karma. The moral of this horror
opening could be to respect people's
experiences/fears and help them overcome these
obstacles.

2. The opening is filmed in Hackney which consists of Multi-Cultural people and in which stereotypically, consists of black
ethnic minorities. We chose two black students from The Bridge Academy and subverted the stereotype of white
people being the victims of a horror film and instead, used two black students to make it more interesting as our film is
made in Hackney and therefore, our audience is also from Hackney.
We used two students for our opening as we thought that our audience could relate to it as our age
rating is 15 and above. Furthermore, we thought that if we are using a boy getting kidnapped, it
would be common sense if it was a younger male getting kidnapped as an older male is powerful
and therefore, they could get away with a kidnap.

3. We chose this mask for our
Villain as we thought that it
was a mixture of a clown.
We thought that the black
long dress was effective
as it made the character’s
appearance gloomy and
therefore, scary.
Mise-en-Scene inspired by IT the clown, Stephen King.
We don’t have a
positive representation
throughout as it is a
horror film and
therefore, it is negative
throughout.

4. In this scene, Lucas mocks his friend for
being afraid of clowns and the way he is
acting, suggests that clowns are not
anything to be afraid of.
What I mean by Karma…
Therefore, in this scene, the clown
gets him back by kidnapping him
back to the park and saying, “Are
you still afraid of clowns now?”
