The document discusses how women are typically portrayed in horror and thriller movies as vulnerable and weak characters who require male assistance. However, the film opening described seeks to represent women differently by depicting the main female character as independent and strong. The opening focuses solely on the grieving yet vengeful main character and her daughter without any male characters, allowing the audience to get to know the strong female protagonist without stereotypical dependence on men.

1. Evaluation question two.
How did you represent social groups?

2. Women in films:
The social group that my opening represents is women, as my main character is
female.
My film opening only shows two characters, the main
character and her daughter (for a few scenes).
Usually in horror and thriller movies women are portrayed
as vulnerable and weak and normally end up needing the
help of men later on in the film. There are some films with
strong female roles in like alien, where the main character
Ripley is portrayed as a very intelligent leader but in most
horror movies the women usually get saved my a man.

3. My film opening represents women in quite a different way to normal films. My
opening shows the main character as independent and strong. At the start of the
opening we see a woman grieving over her child, however
towards the end we can see that she is seeking revenge and
wants the killer of her daughter to pay.
My film opening:
Throughout the opening there is no male characters shown,
this is because I wanted the opening to be mostly about the
main character and allowing the audience to get to know her,
I also don't feel as though there is any need for a male
character in the opening as I think that the story works well
without.
