How does your media product represent particular social groups? EVALUATION Q2
The protagonist "Laura Golding" is a reflection of an average teenage girl. The shot showing Laura in the mirror adds to the stalker element as we rarely see from her point of view. The protagonist represents the girl next door.. I compared our protagonist with with other characters who i felt like she was similar to. PROTAGONIST Firstly I compared her to a character very similar to her... Alison from Pretty little liar, she is the girl next door who is stalked by a bully - They are both in similar situations and are around the same age The Other characters I compared her to one female protagonist from Teen wolf – Lydia. Similar costume, same situation – in danger, middle class
"Unknown" makes the genre clear as its the introduction of the villain causing instant tension. the audience watches from the point of view of the villain. This make the audience feel nervous for our protagonist who is being watched. He represents a troubled teen because he has this obsession with Laura. ANTAGONIST I compare our character to again one from pretty little liars I chose the stalker character because of the similarities, like the black hoodie, the sense of danger they bring when in a scene, that their faces are not shown creating mystery and intrigue..... this allows there to be a big reveal of the character later on.
Mise-en-scene Setting : Girls bedroom is light purple it create a girly atmosphere, a typical girls room shown the makeup box that is set up next to phone to really emphasise it. High street representing time period which is modern day. Costume: Guy - Black hoodie representing male - hood up represents mystery of not knowing who is under the hood Girl - Mostly black with white fashionable shirt represent typical teenage girl no one is wearing any bright colours as that would subvert the genre which is why everyone is wearing dark clothes to conform to the thriller genre. MISE-EN-SCENE AND CAMERA Camera Slow pan across pictures builds tension right before meeting the antagonist Extreme close up on girls face adds to mystery always making sure that the camera was behind the hooded figure so that the question will continuously be "who is he?" Long shot and shot were objects are place in front e.g. branches emphasizes the stalker element of the film
Sound very little dialogue is used as it adds to the intrigue of the opening and doesn't giving anything away non diegetic sound is used for the majority of the opening, the soundtrack is eerie but not to creepy as we really didn't want to make it seem as if it was a horror film. the soundtrack later on becomes louder as the opening add to build tension SOUND AND EDITING Editing Dissolving – as she walks down a long road her. The dissolve edit shows that time is passing implying that she has been watched for a long time Match-On-Action – was successful as our protagonist went through the door Continuity editing – is shown throughout the opening, adding a sense of realism to the opening. Cutting we used a lot right at the start between the two characters at the same time.
