Evaluation 2 -How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our thriller film we don't explore social groups in particular detail, the only social group shown within our thriller film is that of young teenage females. In our research into thriller films we found that many main characters are teenage females, this is due to the fact that they are portrayed as innocent and vulnerable, this is similar to other films such as Oliver Megaton's thriller film Taken, as the plot of this film is that the daughter has been kidnapped and the father sets out to find her, therefore having young females as the victims within the film, as well as showing their vulnerability.

Another way that vulnerability is shown in young female girls within our thriller film is by the sense of the camera following the girl 'Maria', this creates an interactive feeling within the audience as they are able to feel as though they are the person stalking the young girl.

The point of the character in our film is to show normality; she is just a plain and normal person, the idea behind this was to show that the theme of the thriller film could occur to anyone, regardless of whether they are of higher class or lower class, although stereo-typically it is the higher class that tend to be the victims as they tend to be seen as more important and therefore more valuable members to society.
