Evalation Question 2 (How does your media product represent particular social groups?)

The social group i have represented is the teenage social group and it was quite easy as most horror movies do this because the target audience is normally young adults.
I have represented this social group by including a teenage girl character who shows independence and initiative (at times). However, we also tried to make the girl a bit thick (by opening the door and touching the balloon) t try and relate this character to someone the audience may know or even be themselves. The clothes she wears are stereotypical and they show you that there is nothing out of the ordinary as it was typical clothes, specific to the teenage social group.
There isn't really another way where we represented a certain social group because of the lack of characters in the opening sequence. Unless you class clowns as a social group, in which case we represented and presented them as being scary and not fun at all which isn't necessarily the vibe they particularly would want as an occupation but oh well. They're scary and everyone knows it.
