The
main way our film represents a particular social group is by the main
antagonist being a teenage girl. She represents a moody and unsociable teenager
which is a stereotype to how teenagers are portrayed. The female antagonist
looking after the baby can represent gender than females are more associated
with babies than men. In the interview scenes the girl seems very disconnected
from what is happening and very much in her own world and not facing the
reality to what she has done, this could represent people who have had a mental
disability and how they might act under mistakes and stressful situations they
are put under. We liked the fact that the young girl babysitting was an
antagonist, as in most popular thrillers you see a girl babysitter is normally
represented as vulnerable and the one in danger, that you wouldn’t expect it to
be the opposite with the babysitter being the dangerous suspect in our film. We
haven’t represented a typical teenage girl as seen in most films to be happy,
hyper and sociable, instead we have gone for the opposite to have the girl
being disconnected to the real world and not looking as though she fits in. You
see when she is babysitting that she looks like a normal girl just maybe more
moody. The clothes she wears and her make-up all done are what you’d expect to
see a girl of 18 to wear when just relaxing to babysit, however you see in the
interview room she is completely different, as if she has changed suddenly from
that one night. She seems run down and has no make-up on and looks tired,
whilst only wearing a plan top with tracksuit bottoms on.
I
think our opening is similar to the deconstruction our group did of ‘Girl,
Interrupted’ as both main characters are teenage girls which both seem to have
psychological problems. Both girls seem to be detached from real life and don’t
like how there life has turned out.
