Question 4 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The horror genre typically represents a number of different social groups as all different types of people can like different things, but traditionally social groups that most view horror films would be people between the ages of 15-21, mostly male. This may be because people under the age of 15 may be too scared to watch these types of things and people older may not have enough time.

When filming, we used a male actor as we knew that males consumed the most horror films. The clothes that were used were not typical clothing for conventional horror films, as the clothing was very plain. Other mise-en-scene such as make up was also not used in a conventional horror film way as would be thought of, as we didn’t use things like dark black eyeliner, just very faint make up that wasn't noticeable.

As shown on the photos below, the make up we have used is not obvious at all and the actor we have used is male.
