Task 2 How does your product represent particular social groups?

The killer in our thriller wears a hoody and stabbed the victim with a knife. This relates heavily to the problem of knife crime in the UK. The killer is also a representative of Britainsn youth culture; many teenagers today are involved in gang violence qwear hoody's and carry knifes. Youth culture is also portrayed negatively in films such as Kiidulthood (2006), Bullet Boy (2004) and Adulthood (2008). The other subgroup featured in our thriller is that of the victim. Our victim is also a teenager, however he is not shown wezaring a hoody; this is to apeal to the wider audience of Mother's etc. who will feel strong sympasthy toward's a child. The idea that the victim and the attacker are the same person initates a fear in the audience of themsleves because they become aware that they are capable of such a terrible crime; this will ask the audience to consider taking action against crime in the UK. The killer/victim ultimately symbolises our fear of our own actions and their consequences.
