How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our film opening introduces our female protagonist. The opening of our film revolves around her life and the trouble she has been facing. To approach this matter, we used a character around the ace of 16 and a female to create a seemingly vulnerable character who will develop psychological trauma throughout the film which leads her away from appearing vulnerable. We did this because gaslight was about the audience feeling sympathy for a vulnerable character. We made our character appear vulnerable by using non-diegetic voiceovers. the flashbacks are the most important part because it contradicts her depression. It also gives the audience something to find out about. we made her a smoker in order to stay with the stereotype of a teenager today. The main groups our film represents are females getting revenge on those who hurt their loved ones when the government doesn’t want to know. It also represents the drug system in society today and how ruthless people can be to get their fix. All around it represents the underside of the legal system in today’s world. It shows the fact that people who are involved with drugs are ignored or frowned upon instantly, they are not helped and are left to survive on their own.
