Evaluation Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The opening of our thriller sequence focuses on the social group of youth and teenagers. We also picked this due to the actors being of that same age range. But we focuses on the better aspects more than the negatives of youth and teenagers not such things as gangs and violence. We really focus on the representations at the beginning of our sequence on the types of things teenagers do and get involved with. For example we have two characters that are based on teenagers that are seen hugging and walking which are everyday things that teenagers are seen doing.
However andrew is filmed walking alone which does not fit the stereotype of a teenager it suggests that he is isolated and is another reason why the stalker may be watching him. Youth are also represented as vulnerable and innocent. This is shown by the low and high angle shots and using locations where they appear isolated and alone. This will make the audience feel sorry for the character and feel the sense of worry.
