How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Dr. Lewis
Lewis represents Group A under well paid professionals. The tie and smart clothes shows that he is professional however having the sleaves rolled up makes the costume slightly more casual and means that Scarlett and people may feel he is more friendly and open to speak to.
Maddison
Maddison represnets young girls as innocent witht the white to connotate her purity. She also has her hairs tied in pig tails which is usually how you expect young girls to have the hair done. Making her look alot sweeter with her hair back from her face. For filming we added a little foundation to her face which was quite pale to give off the idea that she is almost like a ghost. Mascara also made her eyes look bigger and give the impression of 'doggy eyes'. Maddison would cme under Group E which means that our audience should be able to relate. The fear may be high as the audience may relate Maddison to young family members such as brothers or sisters.
Scarlett
Scarlett comes under Group E which is also close to our target audience. Scarlett generally represents an average teenager; with up to date fashion such as jeans and denim shirt. In the opening sequence Scarlett vaires outfits and having her hair up and down which shows how teenagers have a change in apperance. She generally wears dark clothes to signifty that their is darkness in her life but also shows how their are different types of teenagers and Scarlett keeps herself to herself.
Janis from mean girls would show how she is a similar type of teenager to Scarlett. They wear darker clothes to show how they are different social groups such as the plastics in Mean Girls. For example it sows that Scarlett and Maddison have different personalities compared to yur conventional teenager.
