How does your media product represent particular social groups?

  Our media product represents specific, yet different social groups. We took into consideration that the age of our viewers would be from 16+. This meant that we had to base our opening sequence so that people that attend college, or were upper class could relate to it; as well as working class civilians too. This also meant that we had to construct the story line so that students wouldn't find it too boring, but we had to make sure that it didn't come across as immature either, as not only students but older viewers would be watching it as well, from businessmen, to young couples. This media product characterizes students as the main focus; as the actors in it are students and we feel that it would relate to them more than anyone else. Though in the long run it may make them feel insecure or scared in certain ways; because of the way we set the sequence out. This is not the main aim to our media product, it s a helpful and ky part to making it successful as it could possibly increase the viewership and the vastness of the audience. Laura, the protagonist, is represented as a very stereotypical teenage girl; blonde, cute, innocent looking and vulnerable, this was done to enforce the thrill. And the complete opposite character was used for the antagonist, dark eyes, dark hair; this created a creepy, dangerous and effective character in my opinion. And although the protagonist (me) is hardly ever seen, when he is; he has no facial expression and is always dressed in dark black clothing; representing a very stereotypical antagonist.
