Evaluation Question 2- How did you represent social groups

In my media product I intended to

represent the

social group ‘emo’

They are usually known as outcasts within society, usually isolated unless with a group of

other ‘emo’

Though the ‘emo’ social group os not often portrayed in films, characters of the horror

genre are often styled like ‘emo’s.

In both films and reality, emo fashion is the mostly the same.

The ‘emo’ style is predominantly black with touches of colour, heavy boots, skinny jeans, hoodies, studded or low hanging

belts, black eye make-up etc.

Even when isolated, the fashion they wear makes them stand out from the crowd.

‘Emo’s are a social group that revolves heavily around music and clothes.

‘Emo’s are mainly aged between 16-24.

I tried to portray these characteristics within my own media product.

I also researched typical horror film antagonists to see how they are represented.

My findings revealed that the majority of horroantagonists remain unidentifiable throughout

the product to increase mystery and horror within the film.

I did the same to help create the enigma within my product and to make the product more realistic and cloaked my antagonist to make

him unidentifiable within the narrative and to the audience.
