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



Florence: Our opening sequence represents teenage social groups in a negative way. The idea of the young girl drinking excessive amounts and therefore losing control relates to the medias negative view of drinking.

Florence: Young women are vulnerable and naive in these situations and alcohol is the main influence, it makes women a target to men like this. A lot of teenagers can relate back to this and make them realise the harsh reality.

Hollie: Within the media they portray unlicensed cabs where men are looking to take advantage of young women. We have enforced this idea through an extreme circumstance going against the norm of the man abusing the women in our opening sequence we have switched the roles. An actress we have chosen manages to escape after a forceful attempt.

Hollie: Therefore we have created these particular social groups, by using the typical stereotypes represented by the media of young vulnerable women coming into contact with older men. However, towards the end we challenge these stereotypes by twisting the roles and leaving the audience with an unexpected ending.
