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





As it stands much of our film mirrors Orphan as it's where the route of our inspiration originated from. We took the idea of the young and troubled sociopathic girl and used this in our opening sequence as we thought it would create a chilling effect within the audience and as the film was so popular amongst the audience we aimed to target we felt that it would be a successful idea in that area alone.
Both characters are similar in that they both look quite innocent at first glance but if we delve in deeper we soon realise that their intentions are of a deep, dark and sinister nature.
In orphan the girl is always there no matter where you turn and this is similar to the effect we opted for which is reflected by our layering of shots. Where by two shots are faded into one to create the illusion of her appearing everywhere.
Both characters show anger which is reflected in not just their emotions but their actions as they both appear to be on a mission to seek revenge.











I feel that our film represents the social group of the girls from sorrority row. This was not the original interpretation we had opted for however after careful considertation it appears that our films have many similarities. The similarities are, the girls of Sorrority row depict the image of being a close nit unit of friends which is reflected in our film. They appear to enjoy partying, socialising and seeking new adventures. The aspect of seeking new adventures is shown in our hence ending up in the woods. An additional similarity is both groups are being haunted by something or someone which has an ominous effect on the outcome of the films.
