How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?
Our media product represents mainly one particular social group; teenage girls. This is presented by the camera angles showing the girls and that fact that they are the ones dead. In our thriller Rosie, the main girl, is scared to be under the floorboards which shows that girls are more venerable.The girls in our thriller are stereotypical because its showing that they are weak and can't defend themselves. However, Rosie challenges these stereotypes because she is alive which means the killer didn't do his job properly. Rosie also has the knowledge to not scream and call for help because she knows that this won't help her in any way so she is thinking in a non-stereotypical way. This can be seen in films such as Panic Room.
When you watch our thriller it is easy to assume that the killer is male so this may represent that men do have that superior power over women and therefore are stronger.
