Question 2 representing social groups
Ben, the main character, is portrayed as a normal 17-year-old teenager to represent and appeal to younger audiences. He is working class, dressed casually in jeans and a jumper to show that the events of the film could happen to anyone.

The target audience is identified as young adult males in the UK who would be interested in the realistic portrayal of hooligan culture.
4) who would the audience be for your media product?
The film aims its audience at teenagers ages 15-17 as its content does not include sexual content but could be seen as too scary for younger children. While it may appeal more to male teenagers due to its thriller genre, the inclusion of a female main character could also appeal to female viewers. Thrillers in general attract a wide audience, and the film's depiction of a kidnapping plot mirrors the popular film "Taken," further widening its potential appeal. The film's characters and their middle-class depictions through clothing would most attract middle-class viewers as well. Overall, the film is targeted at and most likely to attract teenage to young adult audiences.
Film poster analysis marcus
The film poster uses bold colors and fonts to attract attention, features a central gun motif to represent the film's theme of violence, and prominently displays the names of famous actors like Uma Thurman to signal a well-budgeted production and draw viewers. Uma Thurman's provocative pose and expression also hint that the film may involve sex, betrayal, or deception. The inclusion of the acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino's name further draws on his reputation for violent films to promote this one.
Props and costume
Sophie wears clothing and accessories that represent her pride in her identity as a homosexual woman and convey her courage in embracing her individuality despite facing discrimination. Her faded red hair suggests an introverted nature but also pride in reclaiming terms that were once used pejoratively against her community. She wears a rainbow wristband and sword earring to emphasize her pride and portray herself as a fighter against homophobia. Tia, in contrast, wears plain black clothing and has a straight, brown hairstyle aligned with feminine stereotypes to illustrate her mean personality towards Sophie's non-conformity.
Q 2
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters. The two main characters are middle/upper-middle class males portrayed through their clothing. This challenges stereotypes by depicting the killer as middle class rather than working class. Both characters are also young to appeal to younger audiences, and are portrayed through more mature clothing. They are both ethnically white to match the demographic of the area and allow for broader audience connection despite stereotypes of criminals belonging to minority groups.
Yasmin
The document analyzes the opening two minutes of the British realism film "Yasmin" to understand key concepts. The summary is as follows:
The opening scenes establish the film is set in a run-down, low-class neighborhood in England. Racist graffiti and the religious clothing of characters hint at themes of class, religion, and racism. The establishing shots provide context of the social class and religious community to foreshadow what the film may explore.
Question 2
The document discusses how a film project portrays various social groups through its characters and elements. It introduces a lower-class male teenage protagonist who struggles with relationships and getting up early for college, representing typical teenage experiences. However, the characters are all white, showing a lack of ethnic diversity that could be seen as racist. Elements like dark lighting, rock music, and a college setting provide context about the protagonist's personality and life as a teenager.
Q5 DRAFT
The document discusses targeting a young audience (15-24) for the thriller opening "Homeless" by using a cast of young characters around the same age. This allows the young audience to better relate to the situations portrayed. The theme of homelessness is an issue the target audience can identify with. The main character, Sam, will be particularly appealing as someone suffering similar problems. Referencing real social issues that affect the target audience will create interest and support from them. Choices were also made in costume, lighting, and plot devices to incorporate generic thriller elements and appeal to fans of the genre.
Evauluation question 4
This document discusses the intended audience for a media product. It would likely be rated 15 due to some violence and strong language. The target age range is between 15 and 40. While crime dramas typically attract both males and females, this film opening may appeal slightly more to males due to its portrayal of masculinity. However, females would still be interested due to crime affecting both sexes. The audience is more likely to be working class people from urban settings, as the film locations and characters give it an inner-city feel through dialogue, clothing, and depictions of a fairly deprived environment.

It notes that paranormal horror films usually feature teenagers between 16-18 years old as main characters and that males are portrayed as strong and brave while females are weak and vulnerable. For their film, the group has selected a main cast of characters aged 16-17 and dressed the male characters in a "jock" and "cool" style to conform to genre conventions.

Evaluation question 2
The document summarizes how a film represents teenagers as a social group through its characters, costumes, camera angles, lighting, and sound. Five teenagers with different personalities were chosen to portray diversity within the group. Costumes were kept simple to seem realistic, with some like a rebel character wearing a denim jacket. Camera angles like high shots make the characters seem vulnerable. Lighting gets darker during a tense Ouija board scene. Eerie music builds tension but no sounds define individual characters to preserve the horror element.
Costumes

The main character Willow and her friend Jasmine will wear casual, everyday teenage clothes to portray realistic stereotypical teenagers of their generation.

When in school, she will wear trousers, boots and jumpers. For flashback scenes, Jasmine will be casually dressed in sneakers, jeans, and a coat. For scenes of her as a ghost, she will wear a long white dress and makeup to appear pale.

The first trailer included storylines about drinking and relationships but lacked drama and suspense.

Focus interview
Megan, Melissa, and Abbie conducted interviews to help improve their thriller film for their target audience. They asked interviewees questions about thriller film preferences and genres. Interviewees said they enjoy unpredictable films with plot twists that keep them on the edge of their seats. They can relate more to characters of their own sex. Interviewees provided favorite thriller films as examples and said the narrative did not need improvement. Most participate in sports and enjoy going to the cinema with friends. Jumping scenes are enjoyed as long as the film has a good plot. Stereotypes should only sometimes be challenged. The film interests most but one person would not see it in theaters as it seems too feminine.

For example props include: a fake gun, bin bags, flowers, pregnancy test, police badge and hand cuffs. All of these props are conventional of soap operas as they are part of some people’s everyday lives therefore they create a sense of verisimilitude. A representation of the character is then displayed and passed to the audience who interpret this in different ways. This is essential in soap operas as they need the audience to have varied opinions on characters in order for suspense and tension to build.
