Social Groups Our Media Product represents a social

group of gothic or introvert teenagers

aimed at 15-17 year olds who want a

new kind of original horror. The film implies

suicide with the knife scene and this

represents the confusion amongst

teenagers

and hooks the idea of teenagers feeling trapped. Our film touches on the sensitive and quite controversial

subject of rape (implied through newspaper clippings). This, in a way, helps to attract a wider audience as our film clearly has an emotional theme.

The main inspiration for

our films narrative and

cinematography style

originates from the turn

of the screw. The black

and white colour schemes fit in with the conventions

Shutter (Ghost Horror) is another film similar

to ours.

Gender Representation

Stereotypical gender representations do apply to our production. In our short film the young girl is seen as powerless and Depressed. Whilst there is no male characters in the production, the only male character mentioned is Alice's father who has power over Alice. In the production Male’s are made out to be Monsters.

How Does This Link To Target Audience

The production appeals to the Emo demographic of teenagers who actively seek to feel a range of differing emotions to create feelings of depression and allow them to express their grimness.
