Section 12 Evaluation 7-How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our Thriller opening has a young child as a threatened victim, this happens in many films to cast a young child along with a women as well so it comes across to the audience to appear as an innocent victim, as they look fragile, weak, vulnerable and scared this gives the impression to the audience that only the suspect is strong but we were using a red herring to twist this in our film and make the actual child seem scared as a young child but towards the end of the actual film the young child is viewed at an older age tracking the suspect and becoming a physcotic man, within his revenge to the suspect.
Here is a picture of the vulnerable child that we incorporated into

our opening sequence
vulnerable characters that were targeted in our film was also found within other full productions like 'the silence of the lambs' and 'se7en'. The characters found within both these films were women and perceived as vulnerable because they were always isolated around bigger and stronger men. This gave off the feeling that the character was vulnerable and intimidated because the men dominated over the other smaller and less powerful women, which made them easy targets.
here are 2 examples of women characters that are perc eived as vulnerable and easy targets from out of the two films 'silence of the lambs' and 'se7en'.

section 12-evaluation 4 and 5-target audience and why we thought it was suitable
when we were half way thrrough producing our film we had a brief idea that a suitable age bracket would be varying from the ages of 15 right the way up to 40.
we felt that including both a young and older generation would increase popularity and if it was been broadcasted through mainstream cinema then it would obviously increase profit. but the main reason for quite a broad age bracket was down to the fact that the film would further include scenes that would either stress or unease the audinece and as a result we felt that people under the age of 15 wouldnt be suitbale to watch a film with that sort of nature.
another outstanding factor was down to the fact that the films plot and storyline would include some form of intelluctual understanding, and if we were ton aim a film at an audience that was under the age of 15 it would have been a lot simpler than the one that have incorporated into our film, as a result we opened the age bracket to ages 15 and above. the reason that we decided the age of 40 would be suitable is down to the fact that this age bracket and particular audience would obviously have the mental capacity to understand the plot changes and differnt characters introduced leading to different stories and understanding.
