Question 2-How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In terms of characters, I have included three. The boy and the girl and then I have included the killer. I used a boy and girl as the stereotypical teenagers who you could see any day of the week and I added a hooded stranger. I feel this is very conventional as the audience can relate to the boy and girl could picture themselves in that situation themselves as we are carrying out a simple task of walking and talking. The hooded stranger can connote the dangers of the world today as this is a public stereotype.  They see him and are instantly threatened or feel uncomfortable. Later in the scene the boy walks out into the forest to inspect a noise. He has taken the more brave role while this now instantly connotes the fact that now the girl is all alone and becomes  a target making the audience fearful for her. However in our thriller the audience can soon work out that it is the boy who is killed first. By leaving only the afraid girl left now the audience want to help her and feel sympathy for her. This can hopefully lead to a better thought provoking reaction when she is killed. We also decided to go against the idea of the female dying first to make the audience think and leave them more in a shock. An advantage of the cast being teenagers is that the audience can easily relate to them as the film certificate would be a 15.
