Question 2: Media Product representation Evaluation

Question 2:  How does your media product represent particular social group?On the left, the picture is of the main female character in the film ' The Unborn' and on the right is a picture of the main character in my own Horror film.

Both characters are similar as they are representative of a particular social group; young, innocent females who are preyed on by things that like to feed of ones fear. In the film ' The Unborn', the female character shown in the top left is being haunted by her ghostly dead twin brother. She portrays  the social group of young females who have traits of innocence, gullibility and paranoia. This is shown in the movie when she has to unravel many secrets and information from unknown sources to get to what she must know. In the same way, the main character in my film shows traits of young female groups who tend to be paranoid about everything due to the mistakes they had made in the past which they believe has come to avenge them. For example, in my film, the main female character had an abortion and she becomes paranoid wherever she goes as she believes she is hearing voices and see ghosts which could all be potentially hallucinations.
