2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?


Our product represent the youth of society as vulnerable without the help of others. We achieve this by using high angle shots to make our protagonist appear small compared to the vast environment that surrounds him. The loud panting sound that this character produces also shows us his lack of experience of being in a similar situation as we get the effect that he is panicking or he is not in a mental/ physical state to survive. The character’s costume also shows us that he is clearly a secondary school student (shirt and tie) and may be part of a popular clique due to his expensive choice in clothing (parka coat and Dr. Marten boots) – it is stereotypical in movie that the popular characters wear expensive clothes. The character’s extremely pale skin makes him look even more vulnerable or even ill. We could assume that this is maybe subject to a hangover which may explain how he woke up in unfamiliar surrounds. The message we were hoping to send to the audience was not to take things for advantage (surrounding, family, friends etc.) because you may get into situation where they are no longer present.
