The opening of our horror film represents overconfidence putting you through tough

situations -it's like karma. The moral of this horror opening could be to respect people's

experiences/fears and help them overcome these obstacles.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The opening is filmed in Hackney which consists of Multi-Cultural people and in which stereotypically, consists of black ethnic minorities. We chose two black students from The Bridge Academy and subverted the stereotype of white

people being the victims of a horror film and instead, used two black students to make it more interesting as our film is made in Hackney and therefore, our audience is also from Hackney.

Representation of Ethnicity

We used two students for our opening as we thought that our audience could relate to it as our age rating is 15 and above. Furthermore, we thought that if we are using a boy getting kidnapped, it

would be common sense if it was a younger male getting kidnapped as an older male is powerful and therefore, they could get away with a kidnap.

Representation of Age

We chose this mask for our Villain as we thought that it was a mixture of a clown.

We thought that the black long dress was effective as it made the character’s appearance gloomy and therefore, scary.

Mise-en-Scene inspired by IT the clown, Stephen King.

We don’t have a positive representation throughout as it is a horror film and therefore, it is negative throughout.

In this scene, Lucas mocks his friend for being afraid of clowns and the way he is acting, suggests that clowns are not anything to be afraid of.

What I mean by Karma…

Therefore, in this scene, the clown gets him back by kidnapping him back to the park and saying, “Are you still afraid of clowns now?”
