Evaluation Question Two

• 1.
  How does yourmedia product represent particular social groups?
• 2.
  Representation Representation is thedescription of portrayal of someone or something in a particular way. These are usually created through stereotypical views and thoughts. This can be done in many ways in films, such as, props, costume, facial expressions and behaviour.
• 3.
  Representations in myfilm There are certain social groups that are represented in my film opening: The mean girl The popular group The outcast All of the characters in the film are part of one of the above social groups and this is shown in different ways.
• 4.
  The Mean girl •The mean girl in the movie is the main charters sister. This was shown through her props which where drugs and alcohol which is stereotypical connected to teenagers that are not nice. Her behaviour of abusing her sister also added to her character.
• 5.
  The Popular girl •The popular girl was the girl in the street that nudges the main character. This is shown through the was she walks and her posture and also, through the way she dressed – girly, wearing a dress and some aspect of pink, since pink is seen as a colour of popular girls in teen movies.
• 6.
  The Outcast • Finally,the outcast in the main character. She doesn't seem to fit in at home or with other girls. This is shown by her unconventional dressing for a teenage girl and her shy posture as she always looks down and is not confident.
• 7.
  Positive or Negative •Mean girl: Negative • Popular girl: Negative • Outcast: Negative Since the film is called Bullied, this is from the main characters point of view so she will be shown positively as she related most to the audience. As the other two characters are against them, this automatically put them in a negative light. Also, stereotypically, the mean girls and popular aren't liked in teen movies, so we went with that convention.
