Evaluation Question 2

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

Our title sequence doesn't represent any particular social group, this would mostly be because our title sequence and film is about a young schizophrenic woman who has a murderous side, and this representation of our character is hardly a commodity in our society. But on the other hand if it did represent any sort of social group, it would represent the problems that people with a mental illness may endure and the effects of these problems, albiet slightly extream as she is a murderer. It would also represent the 'outcasted' social groupp of single people, loners, and the effects off seclusion from lots of social interaction with regualr 'normal' people.

The main character in our Film is:
• White British , Female
• Young, aged 14
• Obsessive over spiders and mentally unstable due to schizophrenia- get the sense that this is all she knows and that she has nowhere to go.
• Looks slightly unstable but would be difficult to tell until up close.
• From the title sequence the audience gets the feel that the protagonist is a bit of a loner, mainly from the longshot of her walking down the feild, alone.
