2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

    There is only two characters in our opening and they are both very important to our narrative.  Sian's character is a key character, because she is the one who does the bullying and in the end killing. My character is a key character in our opening, because she gets bullied throughout and later ends up dead. She is a teenager in secondary school and quite closed off to others. She tries to avoid conflict, which is shown when I run away from Sian down some stairs., but ends up being the victim of bullying.

A character that is similar to mine is Bianca from the film 'The Duff'. Bianca also gets bullied and made to feel like she doesn't matter throughout the film. She has friends but only a few. This is similar to my character, who doesn't have anyone other than Sian's character at first. Bianca is also around the same age as my character and is shown to be in an American high school setting. Being a teenager she also wears a similar style of clothes. However, unlike me, she doesn't get killed. With the help of her friends, she instead rises above the bully and learns to love herself for who she is.  



 We have a similar appearance and  could both be classed as unpopular within the social groups in secondary school or high school. We are also both bullied by girls of a higher social status due to our lack of popularity and are therefore seen as easy targets. However she has two friends who could be deemed popular that stand by her side. I don't appear to have anyone, which makes it harder to not succumb to the bullying and this ultimately leads to my death.
