2. How does your product represent particular social groups?

Our Media product has just three actors in it; a man and two girls. The protagonist is of course Sarah who is a German caucasian between the age of 16-17. This is a challenging representation of a teenage girl and this sequence focuses on the feeling of isolation that teenagers feel growing up. We also touch on the trauma from childhood that can form who we become. The fact that both Sarah and Hermione (who plays her mother) are blonde and both are attacked by Luke, we were adherring to the common stereotype that blondes are vulnerable or even stupid.
The man, Luke represents a typical criminal, he works alone and he is ruthless. Although he does not manage to kill Sarah he does kill Hermione, rendering the baby Hermione was carrying, an orphan.
