  Young Children This isthe young girl in our media product, who is 7 years old. Unlike the generic conventions, our character is evil and sinister. A young girl of this age is usually represented a fearful, sweet and innocent character. However, in our media product, she is a threat towards the male protagonist, as her presence is unknown to him, however the audience are aware of her presence. It is strange to have a villain as young as this, but it is unnerving to have a child of this age to be represented as evil.

  • The youngfemale character wears an over- sized, baggy and dirty white dress. She wears white which connotes purity and innocence Although, the dress is covered in dirt suggesting a lack of innocence. • Therefore, this alters the representation of young children as being slightly darker and more villainous.

  In our piecethe protagonist is shown multiple times as being weak. In one shot he is shown looknig at a photograph whilst the antagonist walks past in the back ground, that fact that he does not acknowledge her presence but the audience do, takes him away for any position of power. But he is also represented as brave as he investigates the sound that come from the attic without hesitation, this helps to show his masculinity as he does not show fear and it shows that one of his main strengths is his bravery.
