Evaluation Q2

How does your media product represent particular social groups? 
Our media product is aimed at an young adults (16+) because younger people may find aspects of our thriller scary such as the killer's mask. Other films such as Donnie Darko also use a creepy mask, which may frighten children. In addition, the aspect of our film, a home invasion, may frighten younger audiences.
 
I believe our media product does a good job of showing that the main character, Fred, lives an ordinary lifestyle, is middle-class, and is around 20-25 years old. The can be seen at the start of the clip. The establishing shot at the beginning immediately shows that Fred has a car, indicating to the audience that he is fairly wealthy.

Furthermore, the audience can see from the camera shots used that the Fred is alone in the house. This shows the audience that Fred is exposed and is vulnerable to the attack from the killer. In addition, the clothes Fred is wearing could indicate that Fred is quite a sporty person and that he has just come back from the gym. It should also be mentioned that at the start at the clip, the editing is fairly slow, showing that Fred is quite a relaxed person, however when the killer is introduced, the editing quickens, showing that Fred is out of control in this situation.
