Evaluation Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In our opening sequence we only use one actress; an attractive young, female. She is seductive and invites the audience to come and join her but she does this in a distrubing manner. This may emphasise the idea that women are sexual objects and there is allure the men and is there to be desired. Even though the actress is acting seductively her facial expression contradicts her body movements; this contradicts the belief that she may be a tart or self obssessed. This challenges the idea, value and belief that perhaps every woman is seductive and alluring.

She is dressed in very expressive clothing; The white dress suggests purity, innocence and maybe the belief that she is naiive and easily influenced (possessed). The other dress she wears in much more contemporary, patterned to show that she still is in touch with her childhood.


She is always alone suggesting maybe she is loner; but she is not as the audience may think an emo. Our title sequence brings forward the ideology that women are mainly the victim being naiive and easily influenced.

The actress has light hair suggesting the common ideology that she dumb, unable to think for herself as she is blonde. in some ways we contest this ideology as in some shoots she is portrayed as strong but she is mainly shown to be possessed and weak.

During the title sequence there is alot of suggested and visual anger. The shots of the burning baby suggest a tortured maybe unhappy childhood which many people can relate to, this again backs up the ideology that she is weak and finds it hard to cope on her own.


Our main character is portrayed as very troubled, lonely a type of person that many people can relate to and recognise the feelings and emotions the character is going through.
