The document discusses how the author represented the social group "emo" in their media product. Emo's are typically seen as outcasts who are usually only social in groups with other emos. They have a distinctive fashion style involving black clothes with touches of color, heavy boots, skinny jeans, hoodies, and black eye makeup. The author captured these characteristics of emos, who are mainly aged 16-24 and revolve around music and fashion. Research also showed horror film antagonists are often kept unidentifiable to increase mystery, so the author did the same with their antagonist to cloak their identity within the narrative.

1. Evaluation Question 2- How did you
represent social groups

2. In my media product I intended to
represent the
social group ‘emo’

4. They are usually known as outcasts within
society, usually isolated unless with a group of
other ‘emo’

6. Though the ‘emo’ social group os not often
portrayed in films, characters of the horror
genre are often styled like ‘emo’s.

7. In both films and reality, emo fashion is the
mostly the same.

9. The ‘emo’ style is predominantly black with
touches of colour, heavy boots, skinny
jeans, hoodies, studded or low hanging
belts, black eye make-up etc.
Even when isolated, the fashion they wear
makes them stand out from the crowd.

10. ‘Emo’s are a social group that revolves heavily
around music and clothes.
‘Emo’s are mainly aged between 16-24.

12. I tried to portray these characteristics within my
own media product.

14. I also researched typical horror film antagonists
to see how they are represented.

17. My findings revealed that the majority of horro
antagonists remain unidentifiable throughout
the product to increase mystery and horror
within the film.

18. I did the same to help create the enigma within
my product and to make the product more
realistic and cloaked my antagonist to make
him unidentifiable within the narrative and to
the audience.
