Evaluation 2




Ethnic minorites 
In our thriller we did not use ethnicity to represent our film. This is due to lack of volunteers to be in our film.

Stereotypes 
We have used the stereotypical female witch and also the stereotypical crazy blonde. This was intentional as we thought it went with our thriller well. We used a female as the victim as a stereotype that woman are weaker and more vulnerable.

Gender
In our thriller the two main characters are both female one being the antagonist and one being the protagonist. We used women to show the strength and power of a women to show that men are not the stereotypical violent antagonists or the heroic protagonists which you mainly find in films that men are the main characters. We used two females intentionally as our film is about witches and best friends.

Social groups 
The females in our thriller are young, working class teens that are exploring life and having fun with other friends before things go bad. They don't follow any stereotypes upon young females or the working class, through the way the are dressed we can see that they are dressed for a casual occasion.

How does your media project represent different social groups?

AGE
My media product represents ages from between 13 to 18+. This is because it is a super natural type of film that involves best friends of that age, there is mild violence and our project plays more with physiological aspect of a thriller.

Sexuality 
The sexuality in this thriller I feel is shown through homosexuality through the antagonist to the protagonist, which could lead to jealousy which kicks off the action, or a rejection on one part of the two women, also it could be a hatred of one because of their sexuality which leads to the peak in the thriller the plotting which leads to the demise. Typically when teens are in school, to be homosexual can be disapproved by other pupils, they might be bullied or find it hard to fit in.
