Evaluation Activity 2- How does your media project represent particular social groups?

Here are a couple of screen shots to show the similarities and differences between these two characters.

In our film ‘Knock, Knock Who’s there?’ the character ‘George’ is presented as an innocent young man who is dramatically chased around his house by masked Psycho’s. The character ‘George’ is shown to the audience wearing casual clothing which connotes a real life feel to the audience. In the film ‘The Strangers’ the main character ‘James Hoyt’ has the same issues in which ‘George’ has. However, the character ‘George’ is a lot younger and is left home alone whereas, the character ‘James Hoyt’ isn’t left home alone he is in a holiday home for his honeymoon with his wife.

In the first screen ‘James Hoyt’ is dressed up in casual clothes which shows to the audience that he’s relaxed and isn’t worried about anything. The second screen shot from our film shows the character ‘George’ in a relaxed position lying on the sofa watching television. The second screen shot also shows ‘George’ dressed in casual clothing which also shows to the audience that he’s relaxed.
