How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our film opening introduces two young girls who are the central characters of the film and also a male character who appears to be the dominatiing role. We see the two girls run down the stairs in a park at the beginning of the scene and appear to be ditressed which follows he trumatic event of being stalked and followed . To approach this we used teenage girls to represent these characters to show the vunrability which appears in alot of young teenage girls of today. We also used two to emphasise the reality of the fact that teenage girls usually stick together as good friends. The fact that they are running is also a symbolism of teenage girls emotionally escaping from their fears and hiding away from them which emphasises the relavance of things that teenage girls usually go through. This also challenges the stereotypical view of teenage girls and allows them to be seen in a different light and show that they do have problems that an occur in their life and they are not all what may be portrayed about them.
In the opening, we also see that somebody is in a room cutting out pictures of the two teenage girls which seemed to have been taken randomly, however we do not see who is doing this creating suspense and allows the audience to question why this is taking place and how it links to why the two girls are running away amplifying that teenage girls are vunerable and can be unaware of the danger they are in.
We do not see a male character until the very end of the opening but we automatically see that he does dominate the plot to the rest of the film and may be the reason why the two teenage girls are in danger. This brings up the question as to whether he is the one that was cutting up the pictures earlier on in the scene as he somes accross as smart and in control of his moves through these courageous acts.
