how does your media product represent particular social groups?

This is Kate.

• She is quite shy and quiet
• Kate's costumes is reflective of her personality – quite dull, boring and instantly forgettable if she was in a crowd of people
• She dresses for the weather
• she dresses for comfort not style
• although she doesn't care what people think of her

Kate parallels Bella's in Twilight, in personality and costume.

 

Also Hermione from (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)

Hermione's costume is quite causal but pretty, it's also very practical and it shows she's athletic. She's a very strong character and is intelligent but doesn't have many close friends.

 

 

These 2 characters (Hermione and Bella,) are strong female characters and are the inspiration for Kate's character because there personalities are similar in the ways that in the beginning of their films they are both unpopular and don't have many friends but also quiet different because of the supernatural elements. Kate and Jessica represent the unpopular group in school. As Kate explains in her voiceover "no one knows who I am" and this emphasises their social status.

 

 

 

 

Aiden is

• funny
• stylish
• respected
• sporty

The inspiration for Aiden's character is from Zac Efrons character in 17 Again. This was the only popular teen angst film with a male protagonist, therefore it was unique. Aiden and Zac's character have similar personalities, they are both popular and sporty and are respected by their peers.

Although their costumes are different (Zac's character wears a black leather jacket and sunglasses, where as Aiden wears a navy hoodie,) it's because of the time periods there set in. Aiden represents the popular sporty group in school.
