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

The picture to the left represents our target audience being sixteen and over, who enjoys a bit of thrill, and are adrelanine drunkies. This age is suitable for our film as some scenes would contain scenes that are only suitable for the older generation ie sex scenes, this will also attract our target audience, as it adds to the arousing thrill to the movie in itself.




Our media product uses the conventions of romantic/horror in order to show the stereotypical social groups that use social networks such as the 'chatroom'; as the majority of our target audience would be able to relate to situations  in our film. In our movie we have tried to convey the stereotype of a normal teenage girl who feels the genuine need to be loved, and a lonesome troubled young man who plays with the idea of love through chat rooms, furthermore, some may take this to some idea of paedophilia. All of which has been depicted throughout the movie in somewhat reasonable fashion. The full identity of the lonesome man is never fully revealed. The portrayal of the troubled person is reflected through the movie, the genuine setting he is placed in, and the nurture of his appearance. The murderer also tends to wear dark colours, which puts him into conventional category.


More so, the movie also looks into the idealistic insecurities of a woman that is portrayed through the general idea of her using chat rooms in itself. The way the woman is portrayed also gives off the conventional idea of a teenage girl. She seems to enjoy socialising, we see that she has interest in celebrity magazines and also tries to look at her best.
