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

The identities of the main characters are kept mostly in secret except that the main villain in the film is a black male in a hood, which is a stereotype of the 'Gangster' black person but is also shown to be dangerous. This can be a bit of a problem because this can be interpreted by consumers as racism or a focus on stereotypes which we don't want to convey, and this is unfortunate because racism is still a problem in the film industry today.
Below is the villain character (played by me).
This character is similar to the villain from scream. The similarities between these characters are that they both wear black and a hood which is quite menacing. Also consumers have told us that they enjoy it when the villain is an unknown character and so their faces are covered. They both symbolise danger, fear and uncertainty. We chose to choose this character because we thought it would be good to have a faceless character as it would keep audiences guessing.

Our other character was a little girl who stereotypes as a defenceless girl, typically showing weakness, when faced with danger. She happens to be wearing a dress which is what a typical girl her age would wear with frills and the like. I believe that the female character closely resembles the child from Pan's Labyrinth with her being a little adventurous but dominated by the head male.
