EVALUATION QUESTION 2: HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA

PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL

GROUPS?

Our opening sequence features 4 girls. In the sequence they will be acting as 12-

13 years old however they are 16-17 years old.

MAKE-UP The white eyes and dark face shows

that the possession is more dominant than the girls.

The pigtail plaits, which are worn by our main character, exaggerates the age of the girl therefore represents a young age group.

Above there are images of Hannah before we did her hair and make-up and the change when her make-up was done. As you can see the changes make her look younger in order for her to fit in with the social group.

AGE The age of the girls is exaggerated by

the costume as the “gowns” are what a young girl would wear to bed, in the period of time our opening sequence is set in.

This represents the type of social group around in that period of time.

GENDER We chose to use a girl as they’re

stereotypically seen to give in to pressure more easily and that they’re venerable hence why they’re possessed.

COSTUME All of the characters are wearing a white

“gown” which helps to represent the time period for when our opening sequence is set.

The colour signifies how young girls are seen as innocent.

As they’re all wearing the same costume it brings them together as a social group.

We have done all of the above conventions in order to show that the possessions is more dominant than the girls and it’s important in the narrative then her subculture/age.
