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

The three girls represented teenage girls to be vulnerable; Amy becomes lost and kidnapped, she can be seen to be weak and vulnerable. The other girls stay together and Kelsey takes authority when she decides the two girls should search for Amy therefore Kelsey may represent a stronger and wiser Teenage girl.  The stereotype in a horror film for a teenage girl is weak and vulnerable and Amy portrays this but if the film had been longer, possibly one of the girls may have been stronger and challenged the stereotype.

The girls represent teenagers with their clothing, of jeans and trainers and they can be seen to represent Yorkshire teenagers with their accents.

The camera angle of a wide shot of Amy on the field, shows her to be alone and represents her vulnerability.

At the end there is a high angle shot which shows Amy to look small against the killer once again representing her to be weak.

The man can be seen to represent men to be strong and powerful against women. The stereotype typically for the murderer in a horror film is strong and scary and he portrays this but if the film had been longer maybe the stereotype would’ve been broken and the girls may have won against him. The man’s clothing is that of a working man, therefore he represents a working man but him being a killer goes against this.

The mask he wears makes him mysterious, it covers his identity and with the props of the knife and chloroform he is dangerous and fits the stereotype of a murderer.

The camera angle of the man throwing the girl into the van is a wide shot, this shot shows his power and strength against her.

There is a heavy breathing sound effect at the end is used for his voice and this represents him to be dangerous and scary.
