How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?
My media production represents a teenage boy who is found lying amongst the leaves dead, also the typical vulnerability of a teenage school girl, through the use of costume, make up, the role she plays and certain 'stereotypical' characteristics, such as the frantic, vulnerable actions and paths tovia chooses to take as she is being followed by a mysterious character through the woods,. characters such as, Naomi Watts in king kong, Janet Leigh in Psycho, Kate Winslet in the titanic,also Kirsten Dunst in Spider-Man 2. for example in King Kong, Naomi fits the gender stereotype of a young female victim, because of the weakness and vulnerability she shows towards the gorilla, similarly, Tovia (the teenage girl) is the danzel in distress which is common amongst thrillers because women can be seen as weaker and much more vulnerable than males, she shows this towards 'the watcher' by trying to run away and hide, instead of standing her ground until he/she reveals there self, this makes the audience feel immediate guilt and empathy for her, it also allows them to sympathise with her more.
The fact that the two people in the opening of our production are teenagers may cause the opening to be more attractive to a teenage audience because they will find it much easier to put themselves into a similar position and relate to the feelings of distraught and confusion that must be going through Tovia's head whilst being followed from a distance and being unable to escape the ongoing chase between 'the watcher' and her. Also the fact that Louis (the dead teenage boy) is wearing a hoodie matches the typical stereotype of teenagers nowadays. This is also seen as an item of clothing that can be linked to a typical criminal because it is difficult to reveal someones identity when they are covering their head with a hoodied jacket. This creates more mystery and enigma throughout the production.
