Evaluation Pt 1, Question 4 - Kyran Deakin

4.How Does Your Media Project Represent Particular Social Groups

Our horror film reflects the common stereotypes through out the film for starters our victim reflects the dominant character for this a teenage girl who is alone we chose this as It really worked by the fact she appears more vulnerable than the men in a film also it made the murderer look much stronger as a male, the common ideology being that the males are the stronger in terms of both hero and villain as they are usually portrayed stronger, also the age was of the characters was important the girl we wanted to look teenage as the audience can become more on the wave length of victim to make the villain look a lot stronger in both size and age as it is a common idea in society let alone films that a young girl couldn’t out power a man,
Our casting we chose just an average girl which anyone can really relate to however she also had pink hair this was her only outlandish feature this helped us connect with an every growing social group of people as well as the killer being almost un Identifiable by light and dressed and in black also the mise-en-scene of the film was very simple which I think made it effective it was just a regular room this reflects any other in just an other house hold this I was used so we could reflect the realism of the horror film and how this could be any house and so you become scared in your own house.
