The document summarizes the characterization of two stereotypical social groups, a nerd and a bully, in a thriller film. The nerd is shown through his room filled with electronics and toys, representing stereotypical nerdy traits. The bully character is easier to write as the typical rich and spoiled jock that picks on the nerdy kid. Few details are given about other characters to emphasize the isolation of the nerd and play up the brains vs. brawn dynamic between the two.

2. Our thriller represents two very stereotypical social
groups; a nerd and a bully
 The nerd- he is represented through mis-en-scen, the
Stanley Kubrick shot in his room allows the audience
to see his personality traits, flat screen TV, multiple
screen computer, a lot of toys all this establishes a
child with a lot of money, constantly buying the latest
things to fill up the whole deep in his heart. This depth
isn't necessarily created when looking around his
room, but this type of personality is stereotypically in
movies, and this type of shot allows the audience to
make connections. The reason why I choose this
character is because of how often it is used people
have a general idea of nerdy traits and feelings.

3.  Secondly the bully- this character was far
easier to write as in most TV shows there is
"jock" type character that would pick on
the childish, nerdy Kid in his school. This type
of jock personality always falls under the
rich and spoilt category, meaning the bully
had to be rich. This allows the audience to
believe that his dad really could own a car
warehouse and he really could get a car
from there. This modern day American
representation is done on purpose as many
TV shows in Britain are American shows, so
the audience accept the stereotype.

4.  Since we only had two characters we didnt need to include
that much. Most details are left to the audience to interperit
and would of been shown later on in the film. For example
Sean and Ollie’s parents are left our because it would
change the ambiance.
 This is because the thriller looks to show how isolated Sean is,
that he has no friends and his parents don't care for him. So
by leaving family out we emphasise how lonely he is.
 The detail of luring Ollie (the bully) alone to a warehouse
shows his stupidity, and the brains versus
bronze idea is shown.
