QUESTION 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our film shows a representation of a troubled young female who doesn’t seem to be able to let go of the past or someone who meant a lot to them in the past.

By doing this we also made the protagonist at first just seem as though they were depressed but, as it is a psychological thriller, there is obviously a lot more to what is going on in her mind.

What the audience can observe is that the protagonist seems to just lock themselves away and do whatever needs to be done.

However, also by the costume we can tell that she is probably a girl who likes to dress up and have fun but is unable to do that anymore due to circumstances.

Another thing is that because of the family behaviour and setting, we can tell that this is of probably a working class house and that the mother portrays a stereotypical representation of that.

How she is portrayed is stereotypical as she is wanting her daughter to buy cigarettes for her and when she arrives home she asks if she bought them but gets no reply.

This is a very common view of how working class families behave and what they look for.
