The social group that is very evident in the media product that my group has produced is the audience of youthful people from the ages of 13-25, this is because of the fact that people in this age bracket are featured in the film and will take something away from the product that they can relate to because they may be familiar with the surrounding and environment in which the film was set are even the choice of clothing that is used in the film. evidence of this can be taken from the attire of the main character.
n the general opinion based on what people have seen in previous films the cloths in which the main male character was wearing is not something that a main character will wear because in actual fact most people will look upon him as the villain if they were to see him away from the context of the film. This is a stereotypical connotation that we tried to change be making the 'Hero' in the film wear that form of clothing, this was also a way in which the film could connect to the target audience because the social group that is featured in this project are the people in society that are recognised to wear that sort of clothing. this is similar to the way in which the villain in the film was portrayed.
The villain in our project can be seen to be in dress trouser and black shoes from the waist down, this form of clothing is normally classed as a form of clothing that is generally accepted as 'smart' or 'formal' worn by people that are intellectual and professional based on stereotypes in society, the way in which we have switched the roles just be playing with costume i feel is very powerful. The villain wearing what seems to be 'formal' clothing breaks down those stereotypical barriers and may change the audiences perception of what they feel when they see someone in a suit we have taken some inspiration from films that have taken this direction with the attire of the villain but we have a complete contrast when comparing the costume of the villain to the hero.also in regards to age it puts a positive light in a sense to people in the youth age bracket because stereotypically people of this age group are not thought of as the most helpful people in society, but we attempted to change this by having someone in this age group make the effort to help someone that they have no previous relationship with.
Another portion of the general population that was represented in the film was that of a young female.the inclusion of the female character in the film was very vital because we needed to have a convention that was in line with the general direction of thriller films in the past. usually young, attractive female characters are seen to be vulnerable and liable to be targeted by villain characters, this is something that we wanted to keep the same because we felt that it was something that the audience will emidiately recognise and relate to due to the fact that people in the female characters age group will interest them although people may argue that this social group was shown in a negative light based on the happenings of the film we felt it was neccessary to have a female play that role
