How does your media product represent particular social groups?
In my films opening scene you can
clearly see a certain social class within my film. My main character is 17
years of age living a quite extraordinary life. The hero of the narrative is a 17-year-old
boy, which is unconventional in horror films. You always see children getting
possessed with parents and family by their side but seeing a teenage boy by
himself is different compared to horror films such as 'The Possession' and 'The
Exorcist'. In the box Office ‘The Possession made $49,122,319 (USA)(16 November 2012) Gross
Total. The Main Character Charlie is 17 Years of Age. In the opening scene Charlie is wearing a Grey Tracksuit and Grey Hoodie, The Color Grey is used to show how dark the situation is. Also his body language is not as positive as a normal person to show how scared, distraught and frightened the Character is. The Color Grey is also
associated with Darkness however he's wearing a light grey to show there is still light in a dark situation (relating to the candles used in the scene - the candles surround Charlie with light linking to the theme of hope). This Makes the audience think whether the character is a Dark or Nice character, this allows the audience to create some speculation to whether the character is bad or not as because its the start of the film this means that anything can change towards the end. Charlie the Main Character is represented through Age, Gender and Class/Status because as he's a Young Male Character some people may think he's up to no good because he's dressed in Chav like clothing. Just because my character is wearing a tracksuit can represent him as a chav but it can also show how my character is different compared to others. most of the British population wear tracksuits so by my character wearing this gray clothing shows that even though he's the same as any other Teenager he still has personal problems which changes the way we look at him.
