Question 2 -How does your media product represent particular social groups?


















Our child actress (Kyla) was inspired by the child played in Orphan.
Kyla's looks are very similar to the child in Orphan and therefore we were able to get the sinister but innocent look we were going for.
The motives of both of the children are the same as they are both seeking revenge for one reason or the other.

Children in the media are often portrayed as innocent people, however there has been a traditional trend where innocent children are playing the roles of sinister characters. For example, Damien in The Omen.
I think we achieved this very well. We did this by dressing Kyla in a white top to show the paleness of her skin. We also pulled back her hair to accentuate her features more so that she looked colder and creepier when she stared into the camera.













The image I am comparing our still shot from is Sorority Row. Although this was not our inspiration, I feel that it is very easy to relate to. In both pictures, the girls are seen as normal teenage girls. However, they have somehow get themeselves involved in a sinister twist that has a dramatic turn on their lives.
