Part 5 - How does your media product represent particular social groups?

We used a lot of stereotypes in our title sequence, for example, the teenage girl that we used to play the victim was slim, blonde and pretty like a typical, but modern, ‘damsel in distress’, I think we showed this through her high pitched scream and all the shots of her running. As well as the victim, the murderer was stereotypical which I think we showed through the darkness of the scenes when he is in it. However, I think we went against the stereotype of a vampire because a lot of television programmes and films have had vampires that can’t go out in the daylight and ones that can run a lot faster than humans. Whereas, our title sequence clearly shows the vampire out in daylight and is running at the same speed of the human (although it was meant only to show a chase not that he doesn’t have special abilities).
