How does youre media product represent particular social groups?




The character of scream links to our negative antagonist through costume. The idea that the villain is only partly seen and hides as much of their identities as possible, (scream wears a mask and a hooded cape and our character is dressed all in dark and wears a hood.) we only see part of his shaded face in the shot when the camera pans round this factor adds to the lack of information we know about these characters and makes them even more mysterious.







The similarity between our female character, Laura and the victim in horror film 'Prom Night' is not just costume, its the fact they are the main characters and its hinted from the very beginning of both films that the Villain wants her. In this situation the other characters are less important and when they die, its not as much of a bigger deal as if the main victim is killed off. The ages are also similar.

Our media product represents a teenage social group through its mise-en-scene, for example the primary research I did to decide on a genre the positive feedback on horror films was around the age group 17-20 therefore that is who our final opening is aimed towards as it contains a young cast, and an up to date theme revolving around a group of friends moving into there first home together
