R+P Post 4: Representation of social groups in our opening sequence

In our opening sequence the main social group we are representing is middle class, British teenage girls through our main character who is 18 years old, mixed race, British and female.

In order to represent the teenage age group of 13-18 year olds we are including a main theme of social media and technology in our opening sequence. Teenagers typically are interested in social media and spend a lot of time on their smart phones, therefore out main character, Grace, will obsessively check her phone and social media pages throughout the opening sequence.




We are representing British teenagers through the British accents of Grace and her brother. We didn't want to include any negative gender representations and so we decided to make the stalker character female and the character who is being stalked female. We also didn't want to include any negative racial stereotypes and so we would include characters of all races.
