Evaluation: Question 2

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media project shows teenage girls in a stereotypical way. This being that they are curious and still quite naive. This is shown through the idea of them using a ouija board, with which they don't really understand what they are doing.
We have also shown stereotypes of the different cliques in a friendship group by having one of the girls being overly confident that she is right and the others are being cowardly for not wanting to follow her actions. We also have the shy, nerdy girl who is shown to be rather scared of the idea of taking part in using a ouija board.
Another stereotype we have used in shown through the role of the younger sister. She is very naive as she doesn't even notice that the girls are using a ouija board, and is more concerned that they are being loud and that she can tell her mum on them.
Our story-line is shown from the point of view of a female, as the story follows the girl. This helps to reach out target audience as they will find it much more relatable.
There are no adults shown in the opening sequence, this shows that the teenagers are independent and also naive by not understanding the dangers of the actions.
