MAIN Post 12.2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The main character in Behind Blue Eyes is a young teenage girl, aged 15, as shown in the photos below.

Here, our media product represents a female teenage social group. Sophie represents this social group as she is a typical teenager at school, with a few family problems at home, being that her mother doesn't really make time for her and along with this she has all the stress from her GCSE's that she is currently taking.
From the costumes she is wearing the photos above, being black tights and skirt, school shirt, tie and blazer, it's obvious to the audience that she goes to school. Our media product here represents her in the social group due to the specific costumes we chose for her to wear.



Another character in our film is Alan, he is Paige's father and in Behind Blue Eyes, the abuser. The picture below shows him in Behind Blue Eyes:

From this picture, I know, Alan is wearing the clothes highlighted in the picture below:

From the above pictures of Alan's clothing, he fits into a social group that can be described as well dressed but someone definitely with a secret. He is well dressed as he's wearing a shirt and black trousers, but he has a secret as he isn't wearing any kind of clothing that is going to make him obvious in a crowd. He would blend in, whenever given the chance and likes to keep himself to himself.
