How does your media product represent particular social groups? (Evaluation)

The main social group that our media product targets to represent is teenagers. I believe that the plot of our horror film makes plenty of inferences towards the young people in our society, whether it be positive or negative inferences.

For example, the main character in our film is a young person who is being hunted by a murderer. The plot of our film infers that young people are weak and vulnerable, the reason that the plot infers this is because the killer specifically picks to attack the young person, this is because the young person could be defenceless and an 'easy kill'.



The next way in which young people are represented in our horror film is innocent. This goes against the common way in which young people are represented in our society. For example, young people are thought to be trouble makers who hang around on street corners, whereas in this horror film, the young person is innocent and minding his own business.

Picture credit

I am making this post to give picture credit to Google images, as this is where I found almost all of my images to support my blogs. In addition to this, I want to give video and picture credit to Bobby Jones (bobbyjonesasmedia), this is because I used his editing pictures, also, I would like to give him credit for uploading our main horror task called 'escape'. Here is a link to his YouTube channel- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC08zoJt9e-JYCaTi0Ot83zQ

Media Filming Planning

In January 2017, we decided to plan locations and dates to begin our filming for our short horror film. We arranged where the filming would be, at a local woods where it would be fairly accessible to the whole group. Eastham woods was the final location that we agreed on. Once the location was agreed on, we had to find a date and time that was suitable for everyone in the group, Monday 6th February at 5PM was the date that we all agreed on.



Once Monday 6th February came, we all decided to meet at Christ The King primary school at 5PM, the rain was teeming down, but we still continued and took our equipment into the woods. Once our location was reached, we began to get into place and start filming. After taking some scene setting shots, it became apparent that the environment was far too dark, the people participating in the clip could barely be seen on the camera.


Monday 6th February 5:30PM: Once that we had realised that the area was far too dark to begin filming, we decided to reschedule and go to bidston woods a week later during the daytime.

Monday 13th February: We had now reached bidston woods, the weather was perfect for filming in the woods, it wasn't too dark, but still had a nice shadow from the trees. Once we had all of our clips, we decided to edit the film through adobe after effects to make it appear slightly darker.

Overall, we learned that not everything will go to plan when filming, and that you have to be able to adapt and adjust to any unexpected changes that may take place.
