Evaluation Question Two

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
The social group we were trying to represent was working class teenagers, and we were trying to highlight common personalities that all the characters had which was insecurity and vanity. We chose these characteristics because they are pretty common among working class teenagers, and in thrillers and horror movies, the killer posesses all of these traits- which, generally, is the reason why they are killing peopl. And so this helps to help add the element of mystery that we were trying to create, because all of the characters had these personalities and they are all common among killers in horror movies, and so anyone of the characters in our film could have been the killer.
We acheived this representation by the continued use of mirrors by Charlie and Katie (highlighting the vanity) and the length of time that they each take to get ready (highlighting the insecurity issue they have). Although in our two minute preview we don't see any other characters, they also possess this characteristic.
