The document discusses how the media project represents social groups. It focuses on one character, a young woman who has recently lost her home and is taking shelter in an abandoned building, to portray the dangers facing some youth. It aims to show how danger can change a character, rather than just showing reactions to monsters like typical horror films that involve stereotypical social groups of teenagers.

1. How does your media product
represent particular social groups?

2. How obvious?
• In the project video social groups that are
normally shown with ease in the popular
mainstream horror films such as the jock or
the druggy, this is because we didn’t want to
drag ideas from successful films just because
of their successfulness.

3. Our character
• It is apparent that the character in our project
has recently lost her home for some reason
that is unexplained in our short sequence and
she has took shelter in a rather large open and
abandoned building.

4. The meaning
• We used a character such as this to portray
the dangers and risks facing some of the youth
right now, although through the clothing it
may not be apparent at first but there are
signs of strength in the character that are
hinted towards.

5. Against normality
• Normal horror films that involve teenagers
choose to fixate the film on a grouping of friends
around 18-25 with different characteristics the
contradict each other for example the lazy drug
inducing teenager would be best friends with the
jock however in our project we believe we should
focus on one character and try to bring out how
danger can change a character and not just show
a few peoples reactions to a monster or murder.
