Evaluation question 2
- 1. The main social group represented in our product is the teenage age range. We used this social group as it is often portrayed in a negative may by the media. Many stereotypes are often linked associated with teenagers which the media blows out of proportion such as, young mothers, knife and gun crime and many other negative things.
- 2. • Another social group that is represented is the young male adult group, our thriller represents this group in a negative way which reinforces the stereotypes portrayed by the media. It portrays this group as a violent group which seek vengeance at any opportunity. A scene where this happens is where the two young men clash shoulders and 1 of the men seeks his revenge.
- 3. • Another social group represented by our thriller is the ethnic minority social group. In recent times ethnic minority group have been in the news constantly for all the wrong reason and as a result a bad stigma has been attached with them. In our film the main actors both from an ethnic minority group live up to their stereotype by attempting to carry out acts of violence.
- 4. • We represented this social groups in these ways because we wanted to allow our target audience to relate to the characters and form an emotional bond with them an so they in a sense the feel what the characters are going from and see things from their view point. Something which will hopefully enhance their viewing pleasure.
- 5. • By portraying this social groups in this way, it alerts our audience of people who are similar to the characters in the thriller, that violence is not an acceptable form of behaviour and that it only leads to pain and suffering. It can also act as a deterrent to stop them from displaying violent forms of behaviour in the future.
