We used the character conventions in thrillers, we had a tall dark guy wearing black who looked as a potential killer. He was in casual clothes which showed that he was probably working class. We also used a young white girl who looked innocent and is probably looks like she’s middle class by her make up and clothes that she is wearing, her clothes are not revealing, also you can tell that the character is middle class because she has a phone. We decided to represent age by having actors at between the ages 15-25 since our audience is young adults. Our media product represents a young social group, roughly aged between 15-25 years of age. The cast is made up of 17 to18 year olds, we wanted our audience to be able to relate with the actors. We were hoping that our age would strike a link with our intended audience and age group. The mise en scene also relates to the social group aimed at as the main character that is getting followed, was dressed according to the timeline. What settles the target audience through the mise en scene is also the gadget we use.
We used a mobile phone as it is a one of the most common, portable gadget used and carried everywhere by today’s young generation. The phone also rises a threatening atmosphere and creepiness as we use this device to show how the character is in danger, as she misses most of her mother’s miscalls. We used someone close and intimate like her mother, to create realism, assuring the deepness and seriousness of the situation being displayed in the storyline.
In term of gender, it is obvious that our product evokes a situation that is more likely to happen to the female audience, as it’s the gender presented powerless, however our main aim was to go beyond a specific audience in terms of, race ethnic group or social class and even gender to evoke that this sort of tragic situation can happen to anyone out there.
