Q2- How does your media product represent particular social groups

Representation are ways in which the media show different cultures, communities topics from a particular view.

In our genre the typical social group you would expect to see would be young adults where the person being stalked is left clueless and vulnerable. The stalkers in the films are usually placed above the victim with full control over the victim. We have mimicked this concept. In regards of relationships the boyfriend usually come across a s very protective and hostile to anyone threatening the victim. We have also used this stereotype for example in this scene where the boyfriend confronts the stalker.


 Sticking by the stereotype the boyfriends threatens the stalker whilst the stalker denies it.

We decided to shoot with young adults as it best helped to precisely constrict our target audience to teens so what happened in the film would be more relatable fore the target audience, inevitable making the audience empathetic of the film. Once again the ‘breakfast club’ helped entice our decision to film young adults. Also, as young adults we are surrounded by possibilities that add realism and therefore intensity.
