Eve dolman-Bowles - Evaluation: Question 2: Does your media product represent particular social groups?

The social group we represent in our media product is a young female. She fears what is going on in her mind, which she cannot control and is shown as weak and unstable. Blonde and attractive is a popular in this genre because it portrays as vulnerable to the audience. This is used the thriller genre a lot because the audience then fear for the girls safety. For instance in 'Birds', the actress is young an attractive and has a man to protect her from the strange and unknown, which makes her seem weak and vulnerable, because she cant deal with the events that are occurring.

In the thriller 'The Birds' Tippi is portrayed as a very sophisticated
young attractive women, however when  she comes in a situation that she is
unaware of and it creates fear for her, she cant protect herself and therefore
her man does this for her.  This makes her look weak and powerless. 

Maya is a young attractive girl,  which instantly makes her weak and powerless to the
 audience, and this is what they like to see in the thriller genre, because it mean she will struggle
and this makes the audience what to watch more, because they want to know how she battles out of it in the end.
