In my film, the main character is a teenage girl who is dressed in a plain black outfit (top, jacket, jeans and shoes). This outfit is casual and plain and is typically what many girls this age would wear. In the opening scene, she is seen walking through the woods, behaving in a ‘normal’ manner for a teenage girl, however she thinks she is constantly hearing things and someone is always with her/ following her, which is unusual for a teenage girl to think. The props she uses are a phone and a bag which is what a teenage girl would typically be carrying around with her, especially if she is going somewhere, for example to school or out to see a friend or to the shops. I chose a teenage girl for the main character because my target audience are teenagers, so when they watch it they may feel as though they can relate to her.
Firstly, the social groups represented in my film can be identified by the age presented. For example, the main character is fifteen and represents the social group 'teenagers in society'. This is shown by the use of costume, such as fashionable clothing for everyday use- dress and a jacket, as teenagers are the largest consumer as they have more money to spend on clothing. Another example is that the other character (protagonist, who briefly appears three times) represents the social group on the boarder of adult-hood because she is older than the teenage girl and she is eighteen.
Secondly, the social groups represented in my film can be identified by the gender presented. For example, the main character is female which narrows the social group of 'teenagers' down to 'female teenagers' so, creating a niche group.
Another way the social groups represented in my film can be identified is by the race/ ethnicity presented. For example, the protagonist falls into the social group of 'white British' due to her location of birth which is in Britain. The film is set in Britain and 87% of the population fall into this social group. The social groups represented in my film can also be identified by the location of residence presented. For example, the narrative of my film is set in Britain and the characters are of British nationality.
In conclusion, the social groups represented in my film are: teenagers, adults, female, white British, British nationality.
