1. The main social group represented in our product is the
teenage age range. We used this social group as it is often
portrayed in a negative may by the media. Many
stereotypes are often linked associated with teenagers
which the media blows out of proportion such as, young
mothers, knife and gun crime and many other negative
things.
2. • Another social group that is represented is the young male adult
group, our thriller represents this group in a negative way which
reinforces the stereotypes portrayed by the media. It portrays this
group as a violent group which seek vengeance at any opportunity. A
scene where this happens is where the two young men clash shoulders
and 1 of the men seeks his revenge.
3. • Another social group represented by our thriller is the
ethnic minority social group. In recent times ethnic
minority group have been in the news constantly for all
the wrong reason and as a result a bad stigma has been
attached with them. In our film the main actors both from
an ethnic minority group live up to their stereotype by
attempting to carry out acts of violence.
4. • We represented this social groups in these ways
because we wanted to allow our target audience to
relate to the characters and form an emotional bond
with them an so they in a sense the feel what the
characters are going from and see things from their
view point. Something which will hopefully enhance
their viewing pleasure.
5. • By portraying this social groups in this way, it alerts our
audience of people who are similar to the characters in
the thriller, that violence is not an acceptable form of
behaviour and that it only leads to pain and suffering. It
can also act as a deterrent to stop them from displaying
violent forms of behaviour in the future.
