2.How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The image shown to the left is of two teenagers from the film 'The Ring'. The storyline of ‘The Ring’ focuses on a video tape and whoever watches it will die within the next 7days. The video tape itself has a girl climbing out of a well and when it reaches 7days the video starts playing and she comes out from the TV and kills the victim. One of the girls in the image was a victim.

With our character (shown to the right) she is not out to kill she is all alone in an empty house where she has to solve puzzles to escape but there is an hourglass timing her, and when time runs out she thinks she is trapped forever. So the process of her trying to solve the puzzles goes on and on and the hourglass is reset by The Lady. However solving these puzzles are not as easy as they seem especially not when things creep on out and make you more delusional.

Both characters shown in the images are young teenagers around 17, 18 who experience things which make them become delusional. As said from the storyline of 'The Ring' the blonde hair girl ends up in a mental institution after seeing her mate Becca, the girl who is standing behind her dead in a cupboard and as stated our character has a mental illness called Schizophrenia. Both characters are wearing similar tops; both the colour white. Using this light colour reflects the innocence in the characters.

Our target audience were young teenagers around 15 to 21. Many people around this age are intriged by the footage shown in 'The Ring' and like a good freight from time to time and thats what our film was trying to aim for but also for the audience themselves to see things through a schizophrenic mind and we tried to reflect this through the use of the camera movement and angles.
