(Planning) Assignment 45: Representations of Social Groups

Representation of Social Groups:

In our film there will be:

• Medical Doctor
• Middle-aged Man

These characters will be portrayed by teenage boys.

In most horror films, the actions of the characters give the audience an insight into how that type of person acts in real life. In our case, the medical doctor is portrayed as being intelligent, meticulous and precise. This character is played by a teenage boy, this is important as the teenager who plays this character is represented as being fearless which reinforces the doctor's killer instinct.

The middle aged man within the film represents the normal, working class man who is selected by the killer for a reason that is unknown within the OTS. This character will also be played by a teenager, which is also important as the teenage boy within our film is represented as being innocent. This encourages the audience to feel sympathy for the victim as he is portrayed as being unknowingly innocent within the OTS.

We will be constructing these representations by; Ben appealing to his younger age and appearing to be very scared and frightened at the prospect of being killed, We will also be using Luca to act professionally and mercilessly in order to scare the audience and make the character look more sinister and creepy.

To conclude, the teenagers within our film are represented as fearless and innocent.
