Evaluation : Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our film, we see a lot of young characters, as the 'villain' and the majority of the victim are all students. Also the majority of the characters are male, and as the main target audience for horros is males aged 15-24 this would attract them to out film. Although the film has a lot of powerful male characters in it, we will also have a strong female in the film to attract a female audience, even though in a typical horror, women aren't supposed to be powerful characters.

As there is a group of 'laddish' males, who are interested in sports and the more rebellious lifestyle, it would attract audience who live similarly so they can see what they get up too, but the film would also attract the more educated or ambitious students as well as there are the more quiet characters, or the friends of Billy.

The first victim in the opening scene isn't dressed in poor looking clothes like in the film 'Oliver' where the characters weir tatty clothes. He is dressed like the average middle class high school student. By doing this, it will attract middle/working class families and individuals to watch the film, as they will be able to relate to how the characters lives their life.
