How does your media product represent particular social groups?
In the opening of our film, a stereo-typical impression is created of a modern day, upper class, independent school girl; we did this mainly through the clothing worn by the main character (Miranda) as well as the picturesque scenery of the school and the and also the type of car the character was driving which was a Fiat 500; a popular car model for teenagers at the moment and the fact that the car was a convertible emphasised the upper class society that the film is set around.
A character that is similar to the role Miranda played is 'Poppy Moore' (played by Emma Roberts) from the popular and conventional chick flick 'Wild Child.' Firstly, the two characters are visually similar, both being blonde, slim, and generally attractive; this being a typical convention for the protagonist in a Chick Flick. As well as this the characters both dress similarly; Miranda is seen wearing an extravagant fur coat, a pink Ted Baker bag and RayBan sunglasses. Similarly, as shown in the image above, Poppy Moore is dressed in an eye-catching patterned jacket, a Louis Vuitton handbag and is also wearing sunglasses; the style of dress that both characters display shows wealth as they are both dressed in designer garments. As well as being visually similar, Miranda and Poppy are both new students attending an Independent school for girls.
