Evaluation Question 2:

How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

The two characters in our film are representative of todays teenagers, how they look and act. Due to the idea we had about the 'Hidden Identity' the representation of our female protagonist changed from one end of the personality spectrum to the other. The relationship between the characters is also very stereotypical of modern media with the pairing of a 'Good girl and Bad Boy' relationship seen in films such as Grease, Warm Bodies etc. This is actually subverted too, at first you do think that Crimson is a good girl and Luke is a bad boy. As the story progresses the relationship is revealed to be the other way round.

The sound and dialogue in our film really helped to emphasis the story and who the characters were and how they were represented. The music through out our film creates a very dark and eerie feel to the product. The music and dialogue used as Luke enters the house is used to make the audience believe that he is the bad guy. The tone of the music, being very drum and bass centered  often gives the audience a sense of uncertainty, added with the dialogue and the way the lines are portrayed by the actor they do believe that he is the bad one of the two of them.

The dialogue also aids us in this portrayal in the phone call scene. Crimson is very fearing of Luke and what he's doing, surely if he wasn't bad then she wouldn't fear her own boyfriend. However she shows her naivety when she still lets him come to her house, another classic portrayal of a good girl.  

But I believe that our representations are stereotypical of the social groups we have represented but they are successful stereotypes of the groups. However I believe we could have showed a more clear change between the two personalities.
