This document discusses representing different social groups in a movie trailer. It analyzes how the trailer for Psycho represented middle-aged, white, middle-class people through the characters and props. It suggests that a new trailer could represent younger generations through modern music, vehicles, fashion, and themes that appeal to that demographic while still using techniques from Psycho's successful trailer.

2.  The trailer for "Psycho" represents middle-aged people, in a
relationship. The two main characters in the trailer are in a middle
class, though in the film they steal money, this could suggest they are
in financial trouble.

3.  This trailer also represents white middle classed people, this is
shown by the use of props, they can afford a car and they can afford
to stay in a hotel.

4.  In our trailer we will try to represent a younger generation, we
could still do this by the use of props and themes.
 We could use aspects like the ones used in “Psycho” to portray a
young generation, things like music, props, like cars, costumes used
and the themes of the film.
