Q2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our production Aimee is the victim but also the heroine – she is the victim because she is following to the clues to her death but also she finds the dead body. The clues all link to Aimee as well so builds tension. Our production represents a very normal social group e.g. middle class. It doesn't show luxury etc but shows more down to earth production. Our character is very much like Grace Stewart in The Others as she is very lonely and is set in a similar in location. They both play the victim and are both female. They aren't similar in age but their character in terms of stereotypes is. 

They both dress very similarly according to the time e.g. ours is modern so Aimee is dressed casual while Grace is set in 1900’s so is dressed for that period. They both have very little make-up on look natural faced. This adds to the whole victim role. Both the camera shots use framing to select the most isolated shots to emphasize loneliness. In our production we only used cloths and maps as clues which is what they also do in The Others. They are significant as they build up the story. Both ours and The Others use very natural lighting through-out although The Others are filmed indoors a lot so use normal lighting. I feel like our production represented social groups equally though.
