Queston 2 Post 12.2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?


The two school girls from our sequence


Two school girls from American film 'Scream'

Both films above feature the same social groups, just different nationalities. The reason for this is so that the audience of horror are attracted and can relate to the characters due to the fact they would be of a similar class and social group. All characters are shown to have taken care in their appearance as a typical teenage girl would.

Teenagers are known to find excitement through things that scare them hence why the characters are female as they would be more helpless than male characters. The school uniforms represent the immaturity due to the fact they are somewhat scruffy and they show they are somewhat rebellious, almost as if they are asking for trouble. The naivety shines through due to the fact they could both be seen as 'dumb blondes' who are notable for their deaths when it comes to the horror genre.
