Question two:
How did you represent social groups?
Men
Working class

Within horror films

Youth
How would you define them?

Definition of working class:
People who work for low wages including
unskilled labourers. Often wearing hard
steel capped boots and a hard hat.
I have represented the working class man as more dominant by placing
him on the left of the frame.In horrors if a man is the monstrous
character he is often more aggressive. An example of this is the ‘final girl’
in Eden Lake is eventually defeated by two male, working class antagonists.

They are also represented as being independent and not much of a
family man by him being on his own.

Men, especially in horrors are seen as much less of a sexual object than
women. This is shown by the way my antagonist is covered up in scruffy
clothes and has not been made to look attractive.
The darker, scruffier hair takes the character away from the
stereotypical ‘blonde hair blue eyed’ protagonist.

Antagonists in horrors are often portrayed as the ‘hunter’, which makes
them dirty and impure, connoted by the way my character is dressed in
dark, dingy clothing.

However in comparison, the scene whereby my antagonist is seen running
panicked, shows that the gender that is usually the ‘hero’ type is scared,
which disrupts normality. Helping to fit my character into the genre without
taking away the stereotypes that I was trying to represent.
